Brake pad sensor light, is it a must to replace the sensor itself?
Planning on replacing my wife's brake pads since her brake sensor light came on, not sure if because this was triggered I will have to replace the sensor itself. Don't want to start doing the job only to find out I have to run to the dealership to get sensors. At the time it does not sound like the sensor is hitting the rotor, only a sensor light.

If I have to replace them are they expensive?

Akebono brake pads include new brake sensors. The pads and sensors are about $80 per axle.

Good call, thanks Domm. Those were the pads I wanted just did not know they came with the sensors.

Thankfully, Amazon provides a picture showing that they include the sensor. I couldn't find it in their description when I was shopping for new brake pads.

The Akebons I bought came with two sensors per set, you only need one.
