Pad wear sensor

[Reg]

Just a quick bit of practical advice. I have got my DS2500 pads to go on the LCR (thanks to the excellent guide o nthe front page it looks pretty easy), and I am aware there is a pad wear sensor on the nearside wheel. What exactly do I need to do with it because of the new pads not having that sensor? I have tried searching, but it just brings up loads of threads saying the sensor is useless.

I don't want to end up with a light on the dash all the time!

Thanks in advance chaps.

all i did is put a male square electrical connector over the two pins,you know the ones you buy from halfords in a small plastic tin,with blue sleeves on them.Then tape it all up,Sorted

Thanks! Never figured it would be that easy. I can't be bothered to do it tonight so it will have to wait until the weekend, but didn't want to get to then and be clueless.

what side is the sensor reg? both front and back?

 

[Reg]

Nearside front is all I am worried about at the moment, but I believe there is a sensor nearside rear too. Probably won't have the car long enough to worry about that though.

cool just that i never done anything with mine when i put the ferrodos in the front and just lived with the light being on but wanted it out when i px it in, but cant px untill the house sale has gone through so not in a busting hurry!

I never bothered doing anything with it except for cable tieing it out of the way. No lights/errors for me. Proves how accurate the sensors are i suppose!

well funny you say that cos the light was never on at first only after a few hundred miles
