Brakes "Check brake pad wear before track driving"

[Jacko315]

Hi all, I just recently bought my i20 N, its got 51k miles on. Every time I put the car into N mode, the warning in the title appears. From what I have researched it seems to be a faulty sensor? From the cars last service I can see the brake pads were measured at 9mm. How low should they be before the warning starts appearing, and what are my options to stop it from happening? Thanks all.

Not my picture, just an example from Google Images:

Got the warning with 5mm left all 4 pads at front were cracked.

There already was some sensor to disc wear. Maybe the pre owner did change the pads and has left the destroyed sensor on yours.

You can eliminate that shit, by undoing the sensor and making a circuit bridge to the connector.

Thanks, guess I will have to do the workaround, thanks.

I have the same issue. Even went to a track with the warning, having inspected the brake pad myself. Would like to have it fixed though.

Would you replace the sensor or just bridge the connectors to "fix" it? I have found a replacement sensor online for 12 euro, but only the front one

Probably replace in case I want to sell it later with good conscience.

Sounds pretty cheap. Do you have a link? And do you know where the sensor is located?

From what I can see the wire is located behind the brakes, mines obvious on the front at least, can see a cable sticking out at the top behind the brake disc

Thanks. Will have a look myself and come back to you. Always sucks when threads are left open without any solution or conclusion

Yeah, thought I would ask again. There are a few of these exact threads floating round here, on other forums and even facebook, but there is never a real fix, more of a "do this to make it go away".

However, I would try cleaning yours first, apparently dirt in the sensor can give false readings?
