Hello everyone,

I have 2000 996 C2 Tip with 181,000 miles on it ..

the brake wear light has been on for a while and i thought i need new brakes in the front

so i just change the pads, but the light (Brake Wear) stays on..

is the dealer or a porsche mechanic the only one that can turn that light off ??

If you did not do so, you probably need to change the wear sensors. One on each side. And I think on a 2000 you can disconnect the battery for a few minutes to reset the computer. That should do it. Unless you changed the front brakes, and it is actually the rear brake sensors that are triggering the light?

Good luck.
