Brake Pad Indicator Light

My brake pad indicator light came on today after 91000 miles, I will be changing the pads out tomorrow. Does anyone know if just changing the pads will turn off the light, or is there a reset that needs to be done trough the computer?

You have to replace the pad sensor that tripped the light. Then when your all done without starting the car turn on the ignition and let the car sit for a minute and it will reset the light.

You can buy the sensor cables at the dealership. They are about $25 each.
