Just wire tie the sensor out of the way off the brake pads. Do check your pad wear on a monthly basis though, since there won't be a sensor there to tell you the pad's worn. "Bench racing" about track times driven by professionals are like a bunch of nerds arguing which Princess Leia is hotter, the slave Leia or the no.
As your brake pads wear down the sensor plastic housing begins to make contact with the rotor and it too begins to wear away along with the brake pad. Until the pad and sensor housing are low enough that the wire inside the sensor is exposed and then "cut" by the friction of continued wear. In this video, we see how to exclude the brake pad wear sensor, which many consider a nuisance because it starts giving the warning halfway through the pad's consumption.
We need to locate the cable that communicates the wear of the pad, which passes right in the middle of the brake caliper. Brake pad wear sensors are a convenient part of the braking system, notifying the driver of when the material on the brake pads are getting low and need to be serviced. Unfortunately it is common in custom or upgraded braking systems that the pad wear sensor is non-existent or does not mate properly with the connector on your vehicle, leaving you with a brake pad wear warning every time you.
ECS Tuning has developed this direct-fit Brake Pad Wear Sensor Bypass to alleviate this issue. This sensor bypass will trick the vehicle's electronics into thinking that the brake pads have adequate pad material to keep the dashboard warning from appearing. No more unnecessary warnings when installing a big brake kit or your own custom setup.
The brake pad sensor in a BMW is important. It warns you when pads wear down. Squeaking noises mean your pads may be low.
Grinding sounds are worse. That means pads might be gone. If the warning light is on, check your pads.
The light means sensor issues or worn pads. Reduced brake performance is a serious sign. It can be dangerous.
