I have a 2009 Cayman S that is fast becoming a track car, still road legal but not road comfortable. I have been running PF 11 pad with Serbo slotted rotors, and I cut the sensor wires and shorted them. I've been running like this for over a year and I change pads about every 10 track days whether they look bad or not. After my last track day, I'm getting a "Brake Sensor" warning light. I've pulled the sensors and inspected them and they all look intact and still shorted. So My question is, is there an OBD2 Scanner that could turn off the brake sensor function? Or maybe it just needs to be reset? Or maybe I'm going down the wrong path here. Anyway, I've been wanting to get a code scanner for some time, so recommendations please, wanting something under $500. Thanks

 

Slap a new sensor in and zip tie it out of the way. A good zip tied sensor up and away for the actual pad is good for life.

 

Better yet, simply splice the wires together on the old sensor, and zip tie that away. Then visually inspect pads periodically.

Looks like he has already done as you suggest?

Brake sensor warning can be multiple things other than the sensor.
I chased a brake sensor warning light for about 2 hours one day, checking and rechecking my "shorted" sensors, then realized it was low brake fluid level in the master cylinder.
I was bleeding brakes the same day i was shorting sensors.

OP, Durametric tool is typically best choice, but not sure if it will differentiate the issue.

 

I just received my Durametric tool last night. Now I’m waiting for Dell to get my new laptop to me. I have all Apple products MacBook Pro iPad and iPhone. So I don’t think it’s a bad thing to have a Windows computer anyway. I’ll let you guys know if it works, if I can turn it off.
