Brake wear sensors
I just replaced my original pads with Hawk Ceramics. My sensor light came on about three days ago. I really don't care about having the sensors on there so I'm not really inclined to go get new ones and disassemble all of the work I've just done to put them in. Does anyone know how to turn the light off so the dash warning isn't on anymore? I've been told that only a dealer can do it, and I've been told that there is a way to reset the light without installing a new sensor. Which is it?

The sensors either complete the circut or open the circut.
(I am fairly sure that they OPEN the circut)
Try to follow the wire to the connector about 2 feet.
Left front and riglt rear.
It the light goes out ... GOOD
If not plug it back in strit the wires and connect
ONE of these must work
I have replaced both and after install of new units no reset was necessary.

I have aftermarket brakes/pads and I can not use the sensor. My front was fine but the rear I used a "Scotchlock" (Weatherproof phone wire connector) that completed the circuit. For some reason it took about a week to reset.
The stock repacement wire is only about $12 or $14 and is easy to replace. Good luck.

Do your pads have the notch for the sensor wire?
You only need to replace the sensor that is worn. If you have a good code reader it should tell you which one needs replaced. If not you will need to look at the pads. There is one on the front drivers side and one on the rear passenger side.
You can also do a search on coatings, sensors etc.
Good luck!
BTW Todd at TCE is great to work with when doing a brake upgrade!

They are tiewrapped out of the way of the caliper and rotor. Still hanging out there a bit though. Next time I have the wheels off I might try to disconnect them all together and see what happens . Too lazy last time.

And...ProfessorDaveOnce you have replaced the sensor or closed the circuit somehow you need to leave the key in position #2 for about 30 seconds for the sensor light to go out.
