Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

By my eyes there is more than 2 mm of pad left all the way around...checked when I changed wheels for the DE.

You probably did this when you checked pad thinkness, but are the connectors for the wear sensor nice and tight?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

I did a DE over the weekend and my Brake Pad Service warning light came on intermittently. And today (1 day post event) it hasnt come on. It came on once before while my wife was driving about 2 weeks ago but she couldnt remember exactly what the warning said. By my eyes there is more than 2 mm of pad left all the way around...checked when I changed wheels for the DE. Can a brake sensor go off but only intermittently? Seems to me if the sensor was compromised (as in rubbed on rotor and is shot) then the warning light should stay on permanently.

POST 2Original post

You probably did this when you checked pad thinkness, but are the connectors for the wear sensor nice and tight?

POST 3Original post

I think so. I didnt unplug and plug them back in but they appear to be and I tugged a little on the sensor wires and everything seems tight. As a side note...none of this started until I had my brakes flushed by a Porsche indy....coincidence? dont know whey if something was work with brake fluid that the brake pad light would come on. I also looked at fluid level and it is fine. I wonder if heat from DE just did something to the circuits. Braked fine but I dont like warning lights.

POST 4Original post

After changing out my rear brakes and checking my fronts, I have the same problem. It has been happening now for about 3 months and haven't had a chance to take care of it. But will be changing out all four of my sensors next week in hopes of clearing it up. Regards, Tom
