What to Do If the Brake Pad Wear Light Comes On

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Warning light – error code

The first thing to consider is whether you have forgotten to release the handbrake. If so, simply disengage it and the brake light should turn off. If this does not happen, potential causes could be: a faulty connection, which is a simple issue with the electrical system; the float in the brake fluid reservoir, which is more common in older cars; brake fluid below the minimum level. In this case, open the bonnet and remove the cap from the brake fluid reservoir. Check the brake fluid level and ensure it exceeds the minimum indicator value.
