hello all, I did a brembo brake upgrade on my 2023 z71 4x4 Tahoe and I have the service brake assist coming on dash. I tried taking neg. battery cable off to reset, it didn't work. Do I need to take to dealer to have them reprogram upgrade in computer?

Did you install the Brembo brakes yourself? Were there any instructions or steps involved regarding the brake pads wear indicators?

I’m not 100% positive, but i believe it has been posted on the forums that with the Brembo brake upgrade on the ‘21-‘24 you lose the brake pad wear indicators that display on the DIC display. My guess is it would have something to do with that.

Welcome to the Forum from NH.

Lots of knowledgeable folks here who freely share their knowledge, experiences, and perspectives. Knowledge is power.

I hope that you will become a participating member in the Forum's discussions.

Pics of the truck, please.

You should not have to reprogram anything with this brake hardware change.

If you don't already have one, I recommend that you get yourself a quality bi-directional scanner to add to your tool box. Then, you will be able to read ALL trouble codes, along with a brief explanation/pointer to the source of your issue. You will also be able to reset/delete trouble codes, after taking corrective action. You will literally save thousands of dollars in diagnostic and repair costs over the life of your truck, and you will most likely recoup the cost of the scanner within 1 year.

A scanner will definitely zero you in on the source of your issue. I would suggest that you take a look at the electrical connectors going into each of your wheel hubs. Sometimes, while working on brakes, you can inadvertently disconnect that connector, or perhaps, you disconnected the connector, and did not fully close the connector when reconnecting.

When you reconnected all of the brake lines, did you follow the brake line and master cylinder bleeding procedure? With a quality scan tool, you can perform this function using the scan tool.
