I'd call it a contra correction, but whatever. And yes, it’s a two year old post that I found helpful as I needed to reset the front and rear brake service intervals today after replacing my brakes. The post from ZheHbKa about a “correction”, which didn’t reference the step number to be corrected, caused me to spend time unnecessarily scrutinizing the original post in its entirety. Since I had to spend the time doing so, I figured I would clarify the matter for others that might also see the call for correction and try to find what is amiss (nothing).
In this thread, the poster that didn’t know there was a sensor per wheel, Penguin, is separate from the poster talking about a correction in the reset process. If you are suggesting that the initial post from ZheHbKa (which was stated to be a repost from another thread) should have mentioned the wear sensor replacement (per wheel) in the interval reset process, I don’t see a need. They are two separate things, as the wear sensors trigger a different check control message from the brake service interval items. After having done all the proper physical brake work, including replacing the sensors (4 or 2, depending on what you find), the physical brake warning will clear itself. But the brake service interval counters don’t reset automatically, and that is what the initial post is focusing on. Nothing less, nothing more. Frankly, I find all this talk of the wear sensors distracting.
