I answered this before.. There is no brake fluid/rotor/caliper/pad temp sensor anywhere in our cars..

There are pressure sensors in the dsc control unit, level sensors in master, wear sensors on the pads, rotational rate sensors on the hubs.. But there are no Temp sensors. can it see duty cycle and guess that brakes are warm / hot.. maybe ????

The guys with a 6 speed wont know what im talking about, but us ^AT guys may... on the track car is in DS and i paddle shift.. when this happens, i quickly put the car in D wait a moment and i get the throttle back although its limited... takes half a lap to cool off... but best to go 1 more lap and then your fine till the end.. Ill try to find the stuff on the oil temp..
