I changed the disks because they were severely corodedon the back but the pads had loads of material left on them. I assumed the computer detected that I had done something and therefore threw up a code that must be cleared. Are you saying that's not how it works and that the computer is detecting an existing problem with the new wear sensors?

When the pads are worn enough on the side where the sensor wire is inserted, to contact the rotor, it breaks the electric circuit. This lights the brake warning light. If the pad is still too thin to protect the sensor wire it will light up the warning light again.

Ok let me clarify... My old pads are thick, loads of material left on there and the sensor wire never got anywhere near the disks. I have fitted new sensors into my new pads these have also never come into contact with the disks.
