IQ brake pad wear warning light

Recommended Posts

Just wondered if Toyota iq has a brake pad  wear warning light? Can't see anything in manual.

My front pads seemed to make a grinding noise a bit at low speed today and then it disappeared.  Discs were clean with no rust from damp / cold over night. Car is 2014 with 20k mls on original pads but my driving is mainly dual carriageway.  

Any ideas?

No, The brake pads on an iQ don't have a wear indicator lead. There should however be a low brake fluid warning light that may come on if the pads are really low but then, it may not unless you have a fluid leak.

My brakes sounds very grindy after a night outside in a damp atmosphere like we've had here the last few days. It does go very quickly though once the brakes are used a bit. At 20k miles I doubt you are through a set of pads already but it may be worth jacking it up, taking a wheel off and having a quick look how much brake pad material is left. Maybe you just picked up some dirt that cleared itself.

The brake pads have wear indicators on them and should produce a grinding noise when they are wearing thin. Just inspect them. Peak through the wheels and look at the brake pads.
