Default how to disable brake warning with vagcom

I got an AUDI A6 C5, i have vagcom 11.13, i want to know if someone been able to disable the brake-pad warning light using vagcom? The seat belt warning option is there (in softcode), but brake pad warning is not there.

Cut the sensor wires, tie them together. Otherwise, you can cut the wire that goes into the back of the cluster and ground it.

AFAIK, you can't disable this with vcds.

A bit more clarity. The wire to the pads is a 2-part system with a connector in the middle. Most new pads come with molded in sensors. So take the old pads, cut the wires on the pad side of the connector, wire-nut them, and voila! you have a shorting plug. If you ever want the sensors back, its justy a plug-n-play.

Any car i have that sees track duty has had sensors bypassed.

well, im lucky that my abs sensor still working, the wire of brake pad have been broken, and i had not enough wire length to connect them together. Both side are broken.

So i need to know where these two wire goes then ground them.

Thanks

You could only disable brake warning on early B5, not even sure about C5. Pre-2001.

that does not make sense. Does the connector still exist? Its way back on the upright. Simply disconnect the two halves of the connector, and, on the car side (not the brake pad side), short the two terminals together however you choose. I cannot imagine that there is zero wire between the connector and the brake pad(s) however.

I don't think you are following. Explain exactly where they are broken.
