The car predicts wear based on mileage driven vs time before the first wear wire was tripped. You can put new pads in all day but the computer will always think they are 75% worn once that first wear wire trips. If the second wire trips the dme thinks the pads are below 2mm and will throw a check engine light. Only way to reset the light at that point is to replace with a sensor that still has at least 1 wire still attached.
So, either live with the computer telling you your brand new pads have low miles left on them, or buy a brand new sensor and reset the computer. As is, the computer still thinks your old pads are in the car and that they will be down to 2mm within x estimated miles.
Cheaper to just ignore the very inaccurate mileage estimate being displayed.
