this just showed up on the dash

[kelvinb]

I am driving back to Lincoln right now down the interstate, and this just came on and continues to come on. What does it mean? I haven't adjusted or modified anything except the radio because justin timberlake came on. Is the car mad at me for that?

[beemercer]

Isn't that the ABS symbol?

[audirs]

its showing you that its head wants to explode because you put that music on













really though, looks like brake pad sensor. might need new pads somewhere. is there any other lights on liek ABS or your traction control symbol?

BRAKE PAD SENSOR x2

[kelvinb]

nothing else except the windshield washer squirters (the raccoon i hit last week did that) but this just came on about 10-20 minutes ago. i replaced the front and rear pads about 2 weeks ago. they are brand new. i will double check they are all still there. Nothing feels different or awkward. Brakes feel fine.

A lot of times the brake pad sensors gets triggered without any need... ride around for a bit, as long as your pads aren't squealing, and I bet it goes off.

Maybe one of the sensors up front came loose? I will double check when i get home. Thanks for the input.

Hopefully its nothing serious, I want to put these new wheels on but I need tires/misc things.

I really wouldn't worry about it. That sensor does come on randomly. It showed up on my s4 in the middle of nowhere. It went off about 50 miles later and never came back on. If it doesn't go off, I'd bring it back to where you had the pads installed, and tell them to look at the sensor.

Check that the clips are secure, or one of the wires did not rip out of the conector or off the pads. I changed mine on my S4 last year and did not rout the wires correctly, and the were resting on the caliper...got super hot and melted the wire and BINGO light came on. I just spliced some new wire, and good to go.

Good Luck

i did the brakes myself and made sure they looked the same way after i was done. its still blinking, im thinking that sensor clip is maybe loose.

Mine came on because of the brake pads were about 40%. Replaced them and the light came off.

AHAHAHA mine just came on like 10 mins ago on the way home, pad sensors, but i need new brakes soon.

[Kievskiy]

brake sensor for sure...i shortened mine cause i am using pads with no sensors ;)

[FrankA6]

[oc-drop]

LOL its 72 in the am over here! and im complainin

[kelvinb]

It is crazy weather, you wake up at 5am for work its 20 out, and by 1:30 its 75. When i purchased the car, it did not have an owners manual. Is there a tech guide or thread on here with what the symbols mean?
