well u got a few things to check, do u have enough fluid in there?

should be pretty much brim full under the hood drivers side above the wheel...

if thats full i donno what else it could be besides a bad sensor, the sensor i dont belive keeps track of the pads...

check to see if the sensor on the break pad is touching... it should be obvious what it is it will be on the upper portion of the break pad, if its not touching your still ok with those...

just check ur fluid

Your pads are gone, the wear on the rotor looks like they have been scorched.

Exactly what it looks like to me in the 3rd pic. It looks like your calipers are eating into your rotors. Get those brake pads changed and rotors resurfaced. If youre unlucky and theyre damaged enough, you may have to replace the rotors.

well, i just got the car yesterday, so i had no time to change them yet... i was asking if it could be anything else

no, i'm not saving weight it was like that when i got it yesterday, and i wish that was my least problem... i'll get some nuts for it :P

i'll change the rotor most likely too...

i just hope its not a sensor or something

Probably just your pads are so low that the piston in the caliper is having to reach out and that made the fluid level in the master cylinder decrease.
