Hi everyone


I hope I'm posting in the correct section.

I changed the rear pads on my LF55 tipper last month as the effort was low. No dashboard waning, just not quite up to scratch on the parking brake. All went well and I done a couple of days work with her when the dash board warning suddenly came on "Brake Lining Wear".

Knowing the backs were fine I bought a set for the front assuming they were low. They were half worn but I changed them anyway, however the warning still comes.

There's no sensor on the pad, just a 3 pin plug which screws into the caliper. I'm assuming the sensor works on how far the piston is pushed out? I've had them all off and cleaned them and also checked over the loom as best as I can but I still can't find the fault. I spoke to DAF workshop near me and he told me to earth out the wire coming into the bulk head and that would turn the warning off. I'd rather find the fault but if I can't that would be the next best thing. The wheels are off every six weeks so I don't need the warning.

Has anyone got any suggestions or can point me in the right direcion?


Many thanks in advance

Karl
