In all sincerity, the sensors are just a simple form of idiot light b/c too many idiot drivers ignored the metal noise makers (tabs on pads which made them squeal at min thickness).
Likewise, sensors are very susceptible to breakage from the elements - heat in particular. As stated w/ minimal 'effort', and would would be considered proper maintenance, one can easily inspect the pads, their thickness, condition i.e. chamfering which occurs with use and can be dangerous. All of which is not reportable w/ the idiot sensor.
Ghetto - LOL.
Good luck!

Exactly. I never rely on idiot lights for something as crucial as the brakes. Every time I wash my car, I take a look at the brake pads and the rotor to see that there is nothing wrong. The rotors aren't getting scored, the brake pad material is at least as thick as the brake pad backing.
