Brake pad wear sensor monitors pad thickness and alerts the driver when the brake pads have reached a wear limit, ensuring timely replacement and maintaining braking performance. Manufactured to OE specification, this sensor features the correct connector, cable length, mounting clip and resistance values, making it a reliable replacement for Porsche’s factory part.

• Position on Vehicle: Located at the brake caliper or backing plate where it detects the pad wear through contact or cable resistance change.

• Applications: Ideal when the original wear-sensor is damaged, disconnected, corroded, or when replacing brake pads and you wish to restore full safety and original monitoring function.

The brake pad wear sensor is an integral part of modern braking systems: it notifies the driver when pad material is low, ensuring timely servicing and helping avoid damage to rotors or calipers. A failed or missing sensor can lead to unnoticed pad wear, reduced braking efficiency and potential safety hazard. Replacing it ensures consistent pad life tracking and supports safe vehicle operation.

When and why to replace:
• Original sensor unplugged, broken or corroded
• Brake pads replaced without reinstalling a proper sensor
• Warning light for brake pad wear is triggered or malfunctioning
• Restoring a vehicle to original specification including all safety monitoring components
