Shops..arrrrr
Check to see if the pads are plugged into chassis wiring (right at pads, wires coming out of pads) and wires are not cut /broken.
I have a 1991 RR and worked on this issue myself, there is no reset.
I have Raybesto metalic pads on mine that must have had internal metal connetion to ground (metal is used in metalic pads). To fix this problem I had to cut the wires from the pads and solder them together and insulate them from ground.
As I understand, a short to ground (via rotor) or wearing through the metal strip connecting the two wires to pads (open circuit) trigger my light.
On my Porsche I diconnected the sensors and just tied the chassis connect back with tie wrap. Light did not go on.
