I have Benz I change front pad and back pad and sensores but light comes on visit workshop and does not go away. I try to reset with OBD-II but it comes back again. what should I do please. Gill
I'm assumuming you mean the brake pad sensor. When the pad gets worn too much and the light comes on it means the sensor was worn out and needs to be replaced. Most likely it will be the one that had the least amount of pad on it.
The pad wear warning shouldn't have to be reset. It will only illuminate if it actively sees the sensor circuit grounding out. If the all the pads/sensors have been replaced properly, it should automatically disappear.
Maybe it's possible there's another problem. Fluid level is ok? No air in the system? All the sensor wires are routed properly?
Check the front brake rotors. There should be a reluctor that is part of the rotor that the sensor reads. If the brake rotors have been replaced in the past, there is a chance that the wrong ones were installed without the reluctor. Also, check the voltage generated by the sensor when the rotor is turned at low speeds. The voltage will be AC current, not DC current. At low speeds you should get somewhere between 1 and 5 volts.
Other way, You may have a faulty ABS computer. We would obtain a known good computer and substitute it for the one in the car first to eliminate the computer factor. If the computer proves not to be the problem, the connectors would need to be checked for corrosion or high resistance. Warped routers would not cause the problem you described.Check the front brake rotors. There should be a reluctor that is part of the rotor that the sensor reads.

Its possible its another tire if you only replaced 2 sensors.
