Service Rest Problem

I'm trying to reset my mileage countdown for my front brakes and I'm having a problem. I followed the directions I found here:

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...procedure.html

That got me into the "reset" menu, and I was able to rest my oil change interval, but it doesn't seem to work for my front brakes. It acts like it is resetting it, but when I restart the car it still says I have 1100 miles to go before I need to service my brakes (I replaced my brake pads/rotors, and my sensor wasn't damaged, so I reused it). BTW, I reused my rear sensor when I replace those pads/rotors because it wasn't broken either, and I was able to reset the countdown clock without a problem.

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help.

Tom

I think you need to replace the sensors just to be on the safe side. I always knew that after a break job the dealership always changes the sensors.
I'm not a pro. but I think that might do the trick.
Best of luck

Thanks. I think I'll try unplugging and replugging in the sensor. That might do it.
