I agree they can be inaccurate, safety issue,no,just an added feature and cost. Although if ,and only if you wanted to bypass them would be to close loop them,or disable thru software. You should always pull your wheels inbetween anyway to keep fromthe different metals from fusing themselves together,and check your lugnuts,with a torque wrenck,nothing worse than some one hammering your bolts on!

To fool the sensors.1. split part of a "mom" to insert the jumper.2 via the service menu produced reset. The first time is not reset, is reset with the second. Take out the jumper, plug-in connector, put in place.
The function of "the critical deterioration (short circuit) will remain working

do you think its ok to change the sensors on my rear pads before the actual pads? I have the reminder to change that I can't reset either[tried many times] as well as the red break light on dash that normally lights up when the E-Break is engaged only it just stays on all the time, I've read somewhere this is a result of my break pad wear sensors as well, anyone know if theres any truth to that? the reason I'm asking about changing them first is because I just had pads checked and I am still at 65% on one an 70-75% on the other so id like to get a little more use out of pads I have now but I would like to clear warning lights to make sure there is no more issues with the car at all. do you think a bad/old battery could cause random problems like this or like injectors/coils not firing right, almost feels like a misfire?
