Mini - Video tutorial

Model: Mini Mini R52, R50, R53 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Brake pads
Operation: Brake pad wear sensor replacement

If the yellow warning light indicating brake wear lights up on the instrument panel display (central circle with semi-circles dotted along the sides), it means that the minimum pad thickness has been reached, so much so that the wear sensor circuit has been opened. : in this case both the pads and the sensor must be replaced. The sensor is in fact located on the edge of the inner pad of the left front wheel or of the right rear wheel and it is sufficient to pry it with a screwdriver to be able to extract it; then follow the cable to reach the interconnection socket (in black plastic) which is located near that of the blue speed sensor. If after replacing the pads and the front sensor the warning light still remains on, then it is the rear sensor: to confirm it even before replacing it, unhook the socket and join the contacts of the wiring socket to simulate the replacement of the sensor and restore continuity; when the ignition is switched on, the warning light will go out after about 20 seconds. Then proceed with the replacement of pads and sensor.
