No, you dont. But if you want to get rid of the light either change the sensors or tie the two wires together, wrap them in some electrical tape, and tuck them in a safe place like the little rubber boot over the bleeder.

If you do tie the wires together, you will be responsible for monitoring the wear on the brake pads. Without the nanny to remind you they are wearing down you may wear them so much that you have metal to metal contact, and kill yourself or someone else because you dont have brakes.

Your decision, your responsibility.

If any of the sensor material is worn from the sensor tip, you CANNOT reset the brake pad life on the computer, ask me how I know The sensor is about ~20 bucks on line and you can replace in about an hour. The rear is a bit of a pain since you have to remove part of the plastic inner fender to get to the connectors.

damn okay, that message is so annoying when you get in the car and turn it on everytime!
