I have a 2005 Arnage T , Got the low brake pad warning , Changed the brakes , still have the warning . does this need to be reset and if so ,How
(all sensor wiring hooked up correctly)

 

You need a Ross Tech to reset. If there is another generic way, I do not know it.

I did a writeup on it for the GT (on a 2005 MY). I expect your Arnage is likely using the same rear brake motors, same control module.

Once you get the rear brake module reset for the new pad thickness, it might reset the dash light too.

 

Take no notice of someone trying to draw parallels between the Arnage and Continental GT. For example, the parking brake on the Arnage is activated by a Bowden cable, and there is no rear brake module!

I've read through the IETIS notes for changing brake pads on the Arnage, and it makes no mention of the need to reset the warning light.

The circuit diagram for the warning light is pretty straightforward: a single wire from Pin 8 on the Information Panel to the front sensor, then to the rear sensor and then to ground.

It isn't clear from the first post whether you have changed front AND rear pads, if not both, then have you thoroughly checked the pad wear sensor at the other end?

 

Thanks for the info ,I checked IeTiS for the Arnage and it showed no reset , was not aware of the daisy chain . Only changed the rear as the front was OK . I do have Ross Tech and saw no way to reset but didn't know about setting for pad thickness so will look farther into the Brake module ( thought it only controlled ABS )

 

You're correct: the module on your car only provides ABS and some stability augmentation.

The Arnage doesn't have, or need, any compensation for brake pad thickness.

Unlike the Arnage, the Continental GT has an electronically activated parking brake acting on the 'primary' pads which is why pad thickness is an issue - though it's beyond me why VW couldn't design a circuit to simply monitor motor current and determine from that when the parking brake is fully applied.

 

Yes I am aware that the Arnage and Continental are different animals . The VW/Audi system is only partially integrated into my 2005 and Ross Tech only has settings for 2007 and newer. Nevertheless I am able to hack into the computer on mine and accomplish limited functions . I am thinking the high temp grease applied to the back of the new pads might be causing false signals to the wear sensor . I believe it has copper in it which could fool the sensor by grounding . Thanks for your help
