bmw_guy 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2009 Is there anyway to get rid of the brake pad lining error light i think it is? It keeps flashing. Let me know. In regards to the picture its the error to the right of the P error. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forrest 35 Report post Posted March 29, 2009 (edited) 1. Replace the Brake Pads? If OEM ones will have the sensor assembly, if not they most likely won't have any. or 2. If you have replaced the pads, just solder the two ends of the sensor wire together (LHS Front Strut) assuming your car has drums in the rear? or 3. Take the bulb out of the cluster Sorted.

_BRS_ 208 Report post Posted March 29, 2009 You have to buy a new brake pad level sensor thing from bmw. About $30 i think. These should be replaced when your pads are changed but most non-bmw places never do this. Its just a wire that plugs in with a small ceramic bit on the end that breaks when the pads get to a certain level i think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
