"Brake System: Drive Moderately" After Pad Change
A couple weeks ago I got a message on iDrive that my rear pads would need to be changed in about 1,000 miles. I ordered some StopTech pads online, and they arrived yesterday. Today I went ahead and put them on, and when I got done I went to reset the warning message. When I did this, my car gave me the ol' "Brake System: Drive Moderately" message. I took the car out for a drive (took it up to around 55 mph), and it stops fine. I'm thinking (hoping/praying) that it's because I replaced the pads but not the pad wear sensor, but I'd really appreciate it if someone could confirm this. I did a search here, but I couldn't find anything. Then again, while I'm generally handy with my cars, my tech/search skills are not as good.
TIA!

I forgot to mention - I wasn't actually able to reset the brake replacement warning/notice. So I'm guessing it's not that.

Indeed everyone was correct - it was the wear sensor. I ordered a new one and installed it this evening after work, and the Vehicle Check is reading all clear now.
Thanks, everyone!
