Front sensor located on right side, rear sensor located on right side. Jack up car, remove wheel, pull sensor out of brake pad and remove from sensor plug. Install new in reverse to removing but may I suggest you replace brake pads as the sensor is telling you pads are low.

Thanks for the info. Front disc and pads were replaced not too long ago and still look good. The error comes up even when not braking and when i clear it it will pop up again before i even brake.

Or jumper the connector with a paperclip if you're frugal.
