Default brake pad warning

Do you have to use a scan tool to reset the brake pad warning light?
We have replaced all the pads & sensors and light is still on, they have all been checked for continuity and are ok.
It is a 2000 (non S).
Thanks

No tool is needed - you still have an open circuit somewhere.
Try taking each sensor off and using an alligator clip to jumper the connections on each wheel. If the light stays on then you have a break in the wiring elsewhere.

Thats what I thought from looking at the wiring diagram it is a series circuit and it just ends at the instrument cluster.
