You have 2 lights on the dash. Durametric will tell you why. Or you can spend time trying to figure it out yourself.

Personally I just clip the pad sensors and tie them together. I dont need a light to tell me when the pads are low, it's pretty obvious if you drive the car and listen.

Now you are saying that 1 wheel is skidding? What do you mean by that?

Thank You, I had called Pelican and was maybe going to order the Durametic and the guy said it's just going to tell me something is wrong, but that's it. He said I'd have to take it to the dealer to get full detail of why the light is on.
And all the pads were only a month old.

And testing the ABS on the road I slammed on the brakes and ABS worked on all the wheels except the front left locked up and skidded. Did that about 4 times with the same result.

I rented a Durametric and should be here beginning of next week.
They also said for the ABS, it's just going to tell you the fault code, but not going to tell you what wheel or why. I can clear the code, but that doesn't help as it will just come back on and I'm hoping to resolve why it's on.
Also, the list doesn't say anything about the pad wear sensor, I have no idea why that light is on as all 4 sensors are new and installed correctly.

Someone suggested disconnecting the battery, did that as well with no luck.
