2011 Cooper S Clubman


today i got a RED warning light up thru the steering wheel that says "BRAKE"

i have seen this b4. it usually means i drove away with the emergency brake engaged.
today. . .that was not the case.
my next guess was the fluid was low.
again. . .that was not the case. . .
it does not show as any codes on my 2 bit scanner.

what sort of issues is this light designed to tell me about?
where were sensors rigged up?
what am i looking for?
as of now, the brakes seem to be operating normally.

we have a drive planned for early next week up to Zion National Park.
so this timing is not optimal.

thx.

D~~~!

 

brake pad wear sensors.

 

thang Q!

i started learning that with some youtoob videos.
looks like the rear pads are close to done.
