Hi,
In the process of changing the front brakes pads on my 93 LS400 the passenger side's pad sensor broke apart (basically it is a 16 year old car and it was weathered away pretty good). The sensor head thingy split from the wires. Now I have the brake pad sensor warning light on at my dashboard. Is there anyway to disable it?
I doubt the sensor thing is fixable because it is so small, but one idea I had was to connect the two wires together that run into the sensor. Just a thought. Maybe that would complete the circuit.
I just hate the sight of any warning light on!![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Thanks!

Your idea is very good ![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I connected two wires from the sensors and disabled it like that (the light on the dash)...
After that all you have to do is check your milage/brake pad ware, but that's all...
