How often should I check my brake pads?

Brake pads should be inspected regularly, typically every time you change your oil or tires.

Where is the sensor located?

Can I install the sensor myself?

If you have some mechanical knowledge, you may be able to install it yourself. However, always refer to the manufacturer's instructions or consult a professional mechanic.

What happens if I ignore the warning light?

Ignoring the warning light can lead to reduced braking performance and potential damage to other brake components, such as rotors.
