Light warning comes on for 20 seconds once in 5 minutes, the warning can
stop after driving for a longer time.

Disconnection the wires will cause the light to go on.
That is how it works.  The wires are shorted together on the pad.
When the pad wears low it breaks the connection.
If the plug is not connected, it will put the light on.

What is more interesting is why is your light not on all the time?
