Hi all

I have replaced the rear discs and pads on my Audi A5. I still have the brake pad! Warning on the cluster. No fault codes when I scan.

One thing I have noticed I can't set the new pad thickness value as I cant edit.

Any help would be great!

Brake pad warning light is not a error it's notification and you should change wear sensors together with brake pads .

There is no sensors on pads. Genuine Audi parts used. It's the electronic parking brake model.

Post an auto-scan and picture of light.
Check coding of 0x17
