Brake pad light came on after taking a hard left turn. Pads don't look that bad....
.. Where is it that I need to check to see if the sensor wire is disconnected? .. Have other peoples brake pad lights gone on when it doesn't seem too low? ...
What tools will I need to do the brake pad change on the front wheels?

Agreed - this happens to me at the track sometimes when I'm running low pads
The fluid runs low in reservoir as a result, and then the light flashes and beeps three times on hard corners. I ignore it until I change pads (pushing the fluid back into the cylinder), but if your pads are okay, then you should probably add some fluid.

Front top inside pad has the sensor on it.
You'll need a pair of pliers, two flat head screwdrivers, and typical stuff to remove/reinstall the wheel. If you need to change the rotor as well, you'll need a socket (forget what size), mallet, breaker bar, and that's about it.
