It only reads your fronts, basically there is a wire in the pad that when the pad disappears enough the wire touches the rotor and tells you you will soon have no pad.

Something I should worry about Dan? I just bought the car about 3-weeks ago from dealer it has 123,000. I guess Im going to have to get new pads & slotted rotors (yeah)

Sorry slow thinking today, did it alternate with brake light or say brake light or something? Brake light on the cluster means a brake light bulb is out. But the circle with the pads is for the brake pads worn.

I thought dealers had to replace the pads before they could sell the car. Well that is California law (85% or better) You may have just pulled the wire loose on the front pads at the track or working on the car or something. Mine come on sometimes when I get brake dust build up.
