To check if your brake pad is touching the rotor, you can listen for any unusual noises like squeaking or grinding when you apply the brakes. You can also visually inspect the brake pads through the wheel spokes to see if they are worn down or if there is any debris caught between the pad and rotor. If you suspect an issue, it's best to have a professional mechanic inspect and repair your brakes.
