IS there a reset for this. I pulled off the front wheeles a second time and have nothing loos or disconnected?

Any thoughts?

Welcome to the forum...

Be sure to check the fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir... and a battery disconnect might be all that is needed to clear everything....

I am about to do my pads and rotors here next week...


2007 Chevrolet Tahoe - 2WD | Avalanche, Escalade, Suburban, Tahoe, Yukon (VIN C/K) Service Manual |

Front Disc Brake Pads Replacement (1500 Series)
Caution: Refer to Brake Dust Caution in the Preface section.
Removal Procedure
1. Inspect the fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir.
2. If the fluid level is midway between the maximum-full point and the minimum allowable
level, no fluid needs to be removed from the reservoir before proceeding.
3. If the fluid level is higher than midway between the maximum-full point and the minimum
allowable level, remove fluid to the midway point before proceeding.
4. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle .
5. Remove the tire and wheel assembly. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation .
6. Compress the brake caliper pistons.
Important:
6.1. Install 2 large C-clamps over the top of the caliper housing and against the back of the
outboard pad.
6.2. Slowly tighten the C-clamps until the pistons are pushed completely into the caliper
bores.
6.3. Remove the C-clamps from the caliper.
• DO NOT use any air tools to remove the guide pin bolts. Use hand tools ONLY.
• Install an open end wrench to hold the caliper guide pin in line with the brake caliper
while removing or installing the caliper guide pin bolt. DO NOT allow the open end
wrench to come in contact with the brake caliper. Allowing the open end wrench to
come in contact with the brake caliper will cause a pulsation when the brakes are
applied.

7. Using an open end wrench to hold the guide pin, loosen the brake caliper guide pin bolt.
8. Remove the lower brake caliper guide pin bolt (1).
Notice: Support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic wire, or equivalent, whenever it is
separated from its mount and the hydraulic flexible brake hose is still connected. Failure to
support the caliper in this manner will cause the flexible brake hose to bear the weight of the
caliper, which may cause damage to the brake hose and in turn may cause a brake fluid leak.
Important: DO NOT disconnect the flexible brake hose from the brake caliper.
9. Rotate the brake caliper (2) upward until it rests on the brake caliper mounting bracket and
support with heavy mechanics wire or equivalent.

Important: If installing the original brake pads, mark the position of the inner and outer
brake pads for proper installation.
10. Remove the brake pads (3).
Important:
11. Remove the brake pad shims (4) from the mounting bracket (5).
Installation Procedure
1. Install the shims (4) to the mounting bracket.
Important: If installing the original brake pads, position the brake pads as marked during
the removal procedure.
2. Install the brake pads (3).
3. Rotate the brake caliper (2) into the proper position on the mounting bracket (5).
Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in the Preface section.
• If installing the original brake pads and shims, mark the position of the shims for the
proper installation.
• DO NOT reuse the brake pad shims with new brake pads. Replace with NEW only.
• Install the NEW shims if replacing the brake pads.
• Install the original shims in their original position if installing the original brake pads.

Important:
4. Use an open end wrench to hold the caliper guide pin while tightening the brake caliper guide
pin bolt.
Tighten
Tighten the bolt to 100 N·m (74 lb ft).
5. Install the tire and wheel assembly. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation .
6. Lower the vehicle.
7. With the engine OFF, gradually apply the brake pedal to approximately 2/3 of its travel
distance.
8. Slowly release the brake pedal.
9. Wait 15 seconds, then repeat steps 7-8 until a firm pedal is obtained to properly seat the
brake caliper pistons and pads.
10. Fill the brake master cylinder reservoir to the proper level with clean brake fluid, if
necessary. Refer to Master Cylinder Reservoir Filling .
11. Burnish the pads and rotors. Refer to Brake Pad and Rotor Burnishing .
• DO NOT use any air tools to remove or tighten the guide pin bolts. Use hand tools
ONLY.
• Install an open end wrench to hold the caliper guide pin in line with the caliper while
removing or installing the caliper. DO NOT allow the wrench to come in contact with the
brake caliper. Allowing the wrench to come in contact with the brake caliper will cause a
pulsation when the brakes are applied.

No change with disconnecting the battery....still looking into it? Put a decoder on it and had no codes?

I did my brakes on my 07 yesterday, all 4 corners with new rotors in the front and had no issues...
I suspect that you may have damaged one of the wheel speed sensors in the process as that is about the only thing I can think off that the system would know to monitor other then the fluid level itself....

did any fluid get spilled on the level sensor at the reservoir? did it get bumped or leaned against?
Check all the wheel sensors for any damage, did the caliper lay on or fall on one of the senor lines? did one of the lines get pulled?

Brake Warning System Description and Operation
Brake Warning Indicator
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) illuminates the brake warning indicator when one or more of the following occurs:

• The body control module (BCM) detects that the park brake is engaged. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the BCM requesting illumination.

• The electronic brake control module (EBCM) detects a low brake fluid condition. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the EBCM requesting illumination.

• The EBCM detects an ABS malfunction which disables dynamic rear proportioning (DRP). The IPC receives a class 2 message from the EBCM requesting illumination.

• The IPC performs the bulb check at the start of each ignition cycle. The brake warning indicator illuminates for approximately 3 seconds before turning OFF.

• The IPC detects a loss of class 2 communications with the BCM or with the EBCM.

Service Brake System Message
The service brake system message is displayed whenever the red brake warning indicator is illuminated.

Supplemental Brake Assist
The Supplemental Brake Assist (SBA) displays two messages through the Driver Information Center (DIC).

REDUCED BRAKE POWER
The REDUCED BRAKE POWER message is displayed when the supplemental brake assist signal circuit is held low. This happens when the SBA is active and maintaining reduced brake power levels.

SERVICE BRAKE BOOSTER
The SERVICE BRAKE BOOSTER message will be displayed when the supplemental brake assist signal circuit is toggled at 1.0 Hz with a 50 percent duty cycle. This message is also displayed if the instrument panel cluster (IPC) does not see an alive and well signal at key on. When this message is displayed it indicates a problem with the SBA and should be serviced or replaced.
