Lowered owner's

[NFamous60]

Afternoon, I actually Google searched this but got old mkIV threads, but I lowered my car on MSS Springs, and after driving few miles to let them set I got a service soon message on the display for front brakes. It said service in 200 miles. I thought nothing of it but damn supra got cheap brakes I drove from Ohio to Washington little sprinted driving here and there but ok. Car has lil over 6k miles. I bring car to Toyota we go back and forth a bit about the car being low for services but the foreman comes out and says I walked to your car you have alot more pad left. He guesses around 90%....... yeah..... so now I'm asking about the light cause the red brake like is on like ebrake is pulled and the message now says "service overdue 47miles" on the dash and "schedule service now" on the display when I start the car.

Are any of you having this? What did you change? Or should I disconnect something when I lowered the car?

I see you joined in 22..
Is your car also a 22?
If not maybe the service is for a brake flush? (every 2 years or something)
Just a guess..

my car is lowered on swift springs n I’ve never gotten any brake warnings..

Yeah, what year is the car? Sounds like a scheduled reminder, not anything about your brakes being bad.

scheduled reminder and there are already like 500 threads about this.

Yes, it's a 2022 I hold the button on the left side of the cluster and it says reset possible but when I hold a circle spins then says unsuccessful

On the dash it now says overdue for service

Not a reminder it's telling me to service the brakes, and service is overdue. You can please tag me in those threads cause I only see like 2004, 2009 threads on it

Yes, based on date/time. AKA, scheduled reminder.

Just saw your new post with the dash alert. You originally said scheduled reminder.

I would check your brake pad wear sensors. 1 on drivers side front, 1 on passenger side rear.

Sorry it started off as a reminder telling me I had 200 miles to go. Ok I will check those is it like clean then out something?

Check to make sure they aren't damaged. When messing with suspension, if people are ham fisted, they can damage them.

Makes sense, I seen a old e46 thread that says if you can't reset it then there possibly a open circuit somewhere. Gonna pull car in garage when it stops raining to take a look. Apologies for the redundancy.

Yeah... Defiantly seems like you either damaged the brake pad sensor wire during install or didn't plug it back in.

It would be pouring ass rain too lol

with only 6k miles on the car it can't be a scheduled reminder. My guess is that the sensor has been damaged or pulled out of the pads.
