Brake PAD light on Instrument Cluster
OK. So today I just dropped my W202. Got The cup kit fro H&R. So after driving it a few miles I see the Break Pad warning light turn on then off. I checked my break pads and I had like 80% on them still. It wont constantly stay. Just a quick ON and then OFF again. Anyone know what this could be?



Thanks,

+1, maybe a sensor is dirty or loose.

if it doesn't work, change the sensor. They're cheap.

The sensors complete a circuit to ground when the pads are worn and the sensor touches the rotor. Therefore, if the wiring leading to the sensor touches ground it will also complete the circuit. Check to make sure the wiring in the wheel well leading to the sensor hasn't been damaged.
