The sensor that you asked is likely the Front or Rear Brake Pad Wear Sensor which is attached to the brake pad. When a brake pad is worn out, the sensor activates the Brake Pad warning light on the dashboard. The sensor must be replaced at the cost over $60/each ! assuming you do it yourself. The Service Manual for the Catera is not available at any books/autopart store unless you purchase it at the Cadillac dealer which is very expensive (few hundred $$). I purchased the Service Manual in DVD from eBay which was very cheap ($25) and extremely helpful (you must have the manual for any work including changing the tail lamp, believe me). Another way is to subscribe to ALLDATA (?) which advertises on this site. Good luck!
