John, I have got 2004 996 Turbo calipers and the front brakes has got the sensor you mention, it is as a few people think a wear indicator.

I will be using it as soon as I get them fitted....... eventually

The sensor just grounds a light on the dash. Tons of high end european cars have them.

Exclamation

Brake pad wear indicator was nothing to worry about you can remove it entirely with a medium flat screwdriver.

Like CC says it's just a ground, have an ignition live to your dash light and the earth to the sensor, when the pads wear down the sensor shorts out completing the circuit.
