Good day!

Yes, but it's the procedure listed above... Turn on the vehicle WITHOUT starting for 30 seconds, a minute, ten minutes.... really anything over 30 seconds will usually work! A minute is if you just wanna be sure.... Ten minutes is just killing time really!

Okay, so... if you do that and it still doesn't work, you probably have a pinched or broken wire elsewhere in the circuit...

If you pull the wheels that have the sensors and there is no sensor connected to the brake pad itself, you need to get a new one! There are only two sensors on the vehicle, not four.

Cheers!
