Hi,
While working on my car last weekend I noticed that it only has brake pad wear sensors on the front nearside pads and the offside rear ones. Is this normal? I was expecting there to be a sensor on each set of pads.
Thanks

This type of sensor placement is similar with many models - 34/36/38/39/46/53/83/85/86 etc., it' s normal
