Soft brake pedel after fitting brake pads range rover 2006e

I would suggest the following. Get a good lamp or torch. Put the vehicle safely up on axle stands or a vehicle lift. Take each wheel off, one at a time and trace the sensor wire from the pads. Check it is securely fitted in the pad and plug in point. Then trace the wires back past that point. The wiring further back can get worn over time.

The brake light circuit is directly controlled by the BeCM under the passanger seat. If no one has touched the tail lights recently, then it is the body computer going bad. That normally happens around 130k.

Remove brake pads..front. Deglaze discs and pads and use created on the back of the pads.
Discs must be grease free.
When installed and sensor fitted, ensure sliders are free before pumping brake pedal a few times.
Road test and remember to bedcin brakes again for 500 miles

first check all of your fuses. if the fuses are all good then make sure the brake switch at the brake pedel is working

check the wire connected to switch at handbrake lever if not broken or disconnected replace this swith.

First off have you worked on brakes before, if you have not, carefully consider your options. Yhe caliper has to be removed, piston reset and new pads fitted. The most difficult part of the procedure, is R/R of the anti-rattle spring without breaking it.

short the two wires in the sensor cable together and either solder or tape up i broke my sensor and this cleared my fault but only had sensor on left so check both sides.

yes...it's as same as the Hand Brake Sign light. if it's NAS Spec's then no sign. only Hand Brake Light will remain on. but you still will be getting a message in the message center says Check Brake Pads

hi from the uk have had this problem on a customers car b4 who had replaced frot calipers and pads and pedal went to floor on inspection of caliper i found that the steel spring clip that fits into two holes in the front face of caliper and must also locate behind the caliper carrierbehind two lugs was fitted incorrectly it had been fitted behind the outer pad resulting in when brake pedal off ?the caliper being floating type as it is known because it is fixed by two screw pins/bolts and moves on these pins/bolts as pads wear ? what happens is the spring fitted wrongly ? actually pushes against the outer pad and as a result the caliper piston is pushed back into its cylinder slightly as it moves on the locating pins/bolts resulting in pedal going to floor on 1st application but if pumped ? some brake pedal force is felt but is lost again when pedal released ? so try this ? remove the steel clips from both front calipers that retain caliper to carriers then press brake/pump pedal ? if as suggested above works? your pedal should pump up and remain ok when you release and still be firm when re applied ? all above is what i found on ford ford but many other models use similar calipers and spring locating recheck how this spring should locate hope this helps ? good luck

when changing the brake pads you also need to replace the pad sensor that runs into the left caliper in the front. Or the right caliper in the rear.
