I'm thinking your brake sensor is not OK. Take it off and check for wear or for $30, just go buy a new one. My 2c.

Brake sensor must be replaced if the light went off. If you replace pads before light goes off, then sensor would be saved...

Hey, good stuff! FYI I dont use the sensors. Since I do all my brake work myself, I just tie them back out of the way and check the pads from time to time. Easy!
