It is pretty nice as well as true....you can save yourself the money of actually burning thru the sensor by changing the pads before the light comes on....but even if you wait till the light comes on I think the new sensor is like $15 an axle if you do it yourself so no biggy. However this sensor only works for the brake pads not for the rotors....to check yourself you would have to get some calipers and measure them to make sure they`re in spec. However rule of thumb from what I`ve heard is every two pad changes you need to replace the rotors as well.
