Purpose: Allows you to disable the brake pad wear warning light on the OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) system, for example, for brake pads without a sensor or if the sensor is malfunctioning / Brake Pad Warning Light Deactivation.
Procedure:
1 – Engine off, ignition off, connect your official VAG-COM VCDS cable to the computer, then plug the other end into your vehicle’s diagnostics socket.
2 – Switch on the ignition and run the VCDS program.
Line 1:
3 – Click “ Select,” then click “ 17 – Instruments.”
4 – Click on “ Code 07.”
5 – The third and fourth digits of the code (xx??x0x) are used to change the settings for the Instrument module. To turn off the windshield washer light, subtract 1 from these digits.

In the example above, the initial code (with the windshield washer light on) is: 0023103
To turn off the windshield washer light, simply recode it as follows: 0022103 (23 – 01 = 22)
