AFAIK the pads wear sensor/wire itself has a life expectancy and will throw a code when it's reached it's end point. Same thing happened to me, I went with f&r BBK's and 6 months later the stupid 'replace brakes' comes on and wont let me reset it. This was even after they were not even in use for those 6 months, they were simply tied up and tucked out of the way as my new pads didn't have sensor plugs. As soon as the car hit 60k km that's when it happened, go figure.
I ended up just letting the light stay on and finally changed it when I had a week off of work.
