I would almost guarantee you that you have worn through the first trigger step. It is a calibration trigger, for the CBS. If I was designing such a trigger, I would put it at about half life of the pads, on the assumption that the second half life would wear as quickly as the first half did.

Just buy the sensor, it isn't expensive. They also get brittle from the heat, so it is good practice to replace them in any case.
