How to Reset the MINI Brake Pad Warning Light?
1 Answers
When the warning light is on, first insert the remote key, then without pressing the brake pedal, press the start/stop engine button. All dashboard lights will illuminate. Then, hold the reset button on the dashboard for about 8 seconds. Here are some tips for replacing brake pads: 1. Engage the handbrake and loosen the hub nuts of the wheel where the brake pads need to be replaced. Use a jack to lift the car and remove the tire. Before working on the brakes, it's best to spray the brake system with a dedicated brake cleaner to avoid inhaling dust particles, which can be harmful to health. 2. Remove the screws of the brake caliper. 3. Secure the brake caliper with a rope to prevent damage to the brake lines. Then remove the old brake pads. 4. Use a C-clamp to push the brake piston all the way back. Install the new brake pads. 5. Reinstall the brake caliper and tighten the caliper screws to the specified torque. Put the tire back on and slightly tighten the hub nuts. 6. Lower the jack and fully tighten the hub nuts. 7. Since the brake piston was pushed all the way in during the replacement process, the brake pedal may feel loose initially. Press it several times in succession to restore normal operation.
