Guys with all of this I'm trying to get to the point that I don't know what the problem really is, the pads look almost like new, and the sensors too, took them out, and I can't see nothing worn on them, maybe I'm not looking in the right place...

Shorting the pins on a socket, will bypass that sensor position. Unless there is a break in the wiring, shorting each sensor out - should put the light out. The pad wear indicator is of dubious value. It only checks one pad of the pair and only on the off-side disks (2 of the 8 pads). It is possible for pads to wear very unevenly, leaving the sensor pads like new and the others down to the metal backing.

The circuit is from the instrument pack, to and through the front sensor, then to and through the rear sensor, and then to Earth. Any break in the circuit will switch on the warning light.

The blue plug is for the ABS sensors, black is for pad wear...

Can you please tell me how to short the sensors out? I took them out, they look like new, took the metal clip around them down, same thing, all looks untouched, is there a certain place where they wear out or how does this work? Maybe I'm not looking in the right place, as far as I've read, when the pad starts to wear, the sensor wears along with it too, or does only the pad start to wear and that indeed breaks the continuity of the circuit and thus the error starts showing up? Thanks.

The tip of the sensor wears through and breaks the circuit, bringing the lamp on.
You can test the sensors for continuity with a meter, or a bulb and 12v supply if you like, or you can short the two pins in the plug connection on the car. Do each plug in turn and that will help narrow down the fault if it is in the car wiring. |

Or even link the two pins of the black socket at a pinch.

Brake pads sensors are useless IMO
On my last three cars I've looped them out. It's a simple job, just unplug the sensor, cut the wires short of the plug, bare both ends and solder them together then either tape the bare end up or use heat shrink. BTW on my Jaguar XF the brake pad indicator came on when I had approx 50% of pad wear left. Mind you my local Jaguar Stealer said they were worn 90% six months earlier. |
