'04 MC Brake Pad Sensor

Hello, I'm having an issue with the brake pad sensor on my MINI. I've checked the pads and they look fine and both sensors are intact and look good as well. There are no visual indications as to why my sensor light should be on. The brakes feel good and strong as well.

I just got my MC a few weeks ago, it hasn't been a big deal I just don't like having the sensor light on.

It's a 2004 MINI Cooper, any help would be great.

have you gone thru the reset procedure?

If yes and the lite comes back on then I'd check that they are properly plugged in.

"The MINI uses a Brake Wear Sensor on the front left and rear right brake pads. When the brake pad wears down, the brake pad wear sensor is also worn down and will eventually trigger the warning light to alert you. Once the warning light is triggered, the wear sensor needs to be replaced. After replacing the sensor, turn the ignition key to the #2 position for around 30 seconds without turning over the engine...the light goes out! "
