E39 brake pad sensors

Recommended Posts

My dash is telling me to check brake linings and the red exclamation light is on all the time. Front pads are good but the pad sensor is open circuit. The rear pads are low and the pad sensor is closed circuit.

Tried the manual and it didn't show if the sensors should be open circuit or closed circuit?

Should be a closed circuit, When the brake pads wear down they take the end off the sensor creating an open circuit triggering the warning light. Correct me if i am wrong people.

Makes sense. Seems they replaced the front pads but not the sensor.
