I got the "brake lining" message... pulled the front wheels... pads were a foot thick (not really, but you get the idea), pulled the rears...... like new.. so, is this just bad sensors.. or is there some crazy reset deal I don't know about? Not sure if sensors can be changed in-place, or calipers & pads have to come out to do it... or just don't worry about it.. is there any such thing as pixel "burn-in", if I just ignore it, or? Guess I'm as lazy as the next guy.. what would you do.. go the whole nine yards and redo everything to get rid of the message?

new pad sensors should fix the problem. (they are fairly cheap too)

Sometimes the sensors get unplugged ... ask me how I know. lol

Unless they changed, the pad sensors are nothing more than an exposed piece of thicker wire, designed to be worn through when they touch the rotors, which happens if your pads get too thin. When that circuit breaks, the CC interprets it as worn pads. Having the sensors unplugged is electrically equivalent to them being worn through.

Thanks for the feedback... did search around and found some references to just cutting, and wiring the ends together to close the circuit. I was assuming I couldn't change the sensors without pulling the calipers and pads??.. and since everything pad-wise looked great, didn't want to screw with it That was the lazy part. Though many of you can swap pads in 10 minutes.. I've been know to turn a 10 minute job into a fiasco, on the other hand can't have that damn message ... ever notice how HUGE the letters are in the dash message. I'll get on with it... thanks again.

You can in fact get the sensors out without removing the calipers and pads. They are held in by a little metal clip. Squeeze it together and yank it out.
