How to change the range of my brake wear indication

bugsbunny500 · 09-24-2023, 08:45 PM

After changing my brakes, I accidently reset the original range from 50K to 30K. Does anyone know how I can change the range back in ISTA?

If your brake sensor is active...does it really matter in regards to the 50k/30k? I say that because if the brake sensor hasn't worn through...you'll just get a notification that says something like service is due or coming due. But when the brake sensor wears through...you'll get a warning that its time to replace the brake pads.

The range for the brakes is just an estimate...how do you know that your brakes are going to last for 30K or 50K? It will vary by the way you drive and how you use your brakes.

Again, when the brake sensor wears through and it really time to change the pads...you will get a distinct warning that says it's time...see examples below:
