That pressure warning can only be reset by disconnecting the battery briefly, so do that, then check if it comes back again. Does it now pull up straight after the last bleed? Mine had the light on, and I found the wiring to one plug very tightly twisted up,and it was ok when I fixed that IIRC.

WELL it's been awhile since i worked on the brake warning issue and good news. I took the car to one more place just to see if they could fix the warning light. They couldn't and suggested I take it to a porsche dealer, Yea right. I decided that every thing had faild so, time to buy a new MC. what the heck, it's only money right? I put the thing in and bled all 4 corners from the callipers by pumping fluid in from each corner and after resetting the computer all the lights are dark. Why do we always try to do everything except the obvious? Also found out the shop that tried to fix it had cut all the brake pad sensor wires and clipped the wires together to turn off the pad warning light without telling me they did it. It didn't ,so maybe I should try to get them to replace the sensors at their cost! Anyway thanks to all who offered their advice

I would totally take it back and have them replace those sensors. Then find another shop or work on it yourself from now on.

Thank You Sir. I always do all my own work but, this time I was being just plain lazy! I swore the last time along time ago That I would never have a shop do work on a car because most times they all they can do is change the oil in the tires and the air in the sump if they can even tell which is which.
