New Discs and Pads - unexpected side-effect


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

today my front discs and pads were replaced. When I picked up my Edge I noticed that the TPMS sensor is no longer reporting any malfunction. Does the TPMS warning light indicates anything related to the brake system? I didn't find anything in the manual (rev3).

 

Before my discs and pads were replaced I had trouble to train my sensors. See this topic:

I gave up and check the tire pressure every weekend. Finally everything is fine, but I don't know why.

 

Best regards,

Rene

Off topic perhaps, but I just saw this post on a F150 forum about a firm in Germany which can add navigation maps for Europe, Aisa, etc. Your the only one I know that is over there and I don't even know if you have nav in your car.

The system is good if you are going to be in Europe for awhile. I think I looked into this a while back, or there were some posts on it before. Turns out that the one I looked at cost over 2k Euro. Way to expensive for me. I have less than a year here in Germany, so I wont be getting it. Our stand alone GPS is working fine.

Who did the brake job for you? Perhaps they saw the light on and reset it using a known good tool? You mentioned that your tool was only showing a red light, not a green one.

 

I see no way the brake part replacements would have reset your sensor.

 

It was a tiny local garage. I provide all needed parts and they just do the work. The two guys are not familiar with US cars. I don't think that they own that good tool you mentioned.

 

It's still a miracle to me, but now even my sensor training tool (with the red led) works perfectly.
