That bloody annoying gong has been telling me my brakes need replacing for a few weeks now.
I started to take the wheels off yesterday, but when I looked, the pads all still look quite new...
Can the sensors become faulty, or do I need to change the brakes anyway?? Also, is there a sensor on each brake?

there are 2 sensors...one one the front left wheel and one on the rear right wheel.

The sensors can give a false signal if the wire gets broken.

The first time I changed mine, I didn't route it quite right and the inside of the wheel rubbed through the insulation.

I overheard our 11-year-old boy boasting to his friend that our car BONGS when it reaches the speed limit!

Heh heh...!
