Brake pad loom fault.

[Ricky Moxon]

Hi, the brake pad warning light came on today even though the sensor wires were cut and twisted together. I have now cut the plug off the ends off the loom and twisted the wires together to no avail. Can the sensor  loom be turned off with  vagcom if I take it to a garage.  Cheers

I think you'll have to solder them to make a circuit. You can't disable it via vcds etc. This video might help:

Cheers I have tried this already. The break must be further up the loom.

Hi you did not mention if its back or front, my guess is rear as the cables tend to deteriorate behind the arch liner where the loom travels through the body work, joining them wont help as one is live and the other isa voltage pick up.

I have checked the front. At a glance I could not see any on the back. I could only see abs sensor. I will re check tomorrow.  Cheers.
