I need help with by brakes

[PaSpyderRyder]

Got the brake failure screen on my RT, looking around i saw the rear brakes needed changed so i replaced the pads. but still get the brake failure screen and am now getting C1282 fault code. I know this means low pressure but the brake pedal does not feel soft, Do i have to take it to the dealer to get the code cleared or will it clear when the cause of it is corrected?



Thanks, Bob

If you can ,I would check the level of the brake fluid....Spyders seem to be very, very fussy about having the EXACT amount of fluid in the resevoir.......and if you add be very careful brake fluid is almost like Battery acid in what it destroy.......Put a small amount in a clean metal teaspoon and put it in that way......IMHO.....Mike :thumbup:

Have to agree..!!

:agree: check your fluid levels. When changing the pads you compress the pistons pushing fluid back. If you can bleed the system pressure should normalize. Could be the sensor as well. If all does no good check with the dealer..good luck..!! :thumbup:

It may not clear without BUDS. It depends on the nature of it. The first thing I would do is have the brake fluid flushed and the brakes bled. If the code is restet and the problem occures again, then the brake pressure switch is suspect. BUDS is the best way to diagnose that.
