Brake pad thickness... when to replace? 850

The last time I replaced pads and rotors on my '96 850 I did so because one of the rotors was obviously warped (rather than the pads being too thin).

So now - while I'm investigating an intermittent ABS light - I'm wondering just how to tell when the pads are too thin. Are their wear indicators, and - if so - what are they?

Of course, since I don't have an ABS code reader (shouldn't have skimped on the OBDII reader I got) I'll likely take the car into the shop and I'm sure they'll let me know all about what needs replacing.
