I asked the service department if he thought I could go anyway, he stated that while he is 95% sure it is nothing just can't recommend using the car until it is checked out.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

Have a new Cayman S with 750 miles on it. Went to lunch today and had a warning message that came up stating that I had excessive brake pad wear and needed service. I called the service department and they are guessing this could be a bad sensor, but will not be able to look at it until Wednesday. I was planning a road trip over the weekend. I asked the service department if he thought I could go anyway, he stated that while he is 95% sure it is nothing just can't recommend using the car until it is checked out. Ugh... Have any of you heard of a similar problem with a brake sensor with so few miles? Thanks in advance.

There is some interesting reading if you search for "brake pad sensor". Here are a couple: http://www.planet-9.com/showthread.php?t=11445&highlight=brake+pad+sensor and http://www.planet-9.com/showthread.php?t=11245&highlight=brake+pad+sensor and I think there are seven or eight more that could prove useful. I'm guessing you are fine and an inspection that you can do yourself should put your mind at ease. Look at the article on replacing pads and sensors for more technical help. http://www.planet-9.com/reviews/showproduct.php?product=34&cat=10 Good luck.

Thank you Santa Fe. I should have done a quick search to begin with. I just forgot to do so.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
