Resetting rear brake pad warning light

[Cptnslo]

So I’ve read the thread about going into the service menu and resetting the pad light however in that menu my options are reset service change interval, oil and the brake fluid but I have no option to reset the brake pad lights. Anyone have any ideas before I go take it to the dealership

I already mentioned that I went through this menu but it’s not showing the brake reset aspect only brake fluid

I found it in the menu Been a while but it’s there

Going through the menu my only options (I scrolled multiple times) are these

that is frustrating. I don't have an answer. Is the brake warning/error present still?

When i let my brakes get down too low and tripped the wear sensor it was available to reset through diag mode (start 3 times) after i replaced both sensors

If i don't have the warning active now I am not sure if it will even show up for me to try and do a video?

will be at track Sunday. Will look through menu...

Thank you I’d appreciate that if you get a chance. Mildly frustrating for sure. I just ended up bypassing the sensor since it doesn’t fit into the GLOC pads anyway. So I would like to get rid of it and not have the brake warning. By bypass I mean I cut the sensor and twisted both wires together and tied them up and out of the way.

Yes went into diagnosis mode found rear brake reset. Tried to reset and says it unsuccessful. Stock pads display show 3000 miles left I changed rear out for a better pad it wasn't low or touching rear sensor at all. How can I reset it?

 

[Rocksandblues]

If reset is unsuccessful the sensor is nicked. Sometimes they still
Look good. May be the front one also.

order a new set or cut off sensor and tape up twisted together

Not sure if anyone still needs help here but I just changed my sensor. Menu will only let you reset pad sensor if the pad warning came up...otherwise the option will not be there. If you got the warning, then you need to change the sensor with the pads because I believe the sensor light comes on when sensor stops sending signal. I broke mine and all it gave me was the mile countdown even though the tip was gone...

is there only one sensor for both rear brakes? my mechanics telling me there’s four sensors, one for each pad. 2021 3.0 Supra

No, 1 sensor in front and 1 sensor in the rear. LH front, RH rear.

there are only 1 brake wear sensor per circuit. 1 front & 1 rear. your mechanic may referring to pre-historic brake system that had spring like metal attached to the pad which is non-electrical. even so, only 1 per corner, meaning 2 for rear, 2 for front.

GR supra has electrical sensor and needs to be replaced with brake pad replacement.

There's only one sensor for front and 1 for back. One goes on the right and one goes on the left. There's nowhere to plug in a sensor if you're on the wrong side...

Can vouch for this method. I don’t have to mess with sensors anymore. Love it I just look at my pads w/ a flashlight. Easy to tell if there’s no meat left on them.
