Brake pad wear sensors

[KJNEAL]

Despite having my brake pads replaced I still have the warning 'noise' of pads being low, can I disconnect the function as I have car checked on a regular basis & mileage per year is very low.

I doubt that there is a switch, I think they are designed to just make that noise when they reach a certain minimum thickness.

I had all mine done and they also used copper grease on them and they just make the noise, I keep meaning to pop back to the garage, but I've not had time, so I just put up with it for now.

Despite having mine since new I wasn't aware of this. Page 207 in the manual mentions about a squealing or scraping noise then have the pads checked. I have a noise from the rear sometimes when braking on downhill roads. I asked the garage to check them at the last mot and they said they were fine. You have got me intrigued as to why they do this.

Mine also squeal when reversing 😀

Now you mention it mine do sometimes when reversing out of a parking space that I have driven forward into.
