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

Porsche Brake Pad Anti-Wear Sensors | Design911 Precision Components for Safety, Monitoring & Maintenance
Brake pad anti-wear sensors play a vital role in your Porsche’s braking system by monitoring pad thickness and alerting you when replacement is needed. By providing real-time data, these sensors help prevent excessive wear, protect brake discs, and maintain braking safety. Replacing worn or damaged sensors ensures your Porsche’s onboard systems can accurately detect pad wear — preserving both performance and peace of mind.
At Design911, we supply a comprehensive range of brake pad anti-wear sensors designed for precise fitment and dependable performance. Manufactured using high-grade materials and advanced sensor technology, our components ensure accurate readings under all driving conditions. Ideal for routine maintenance, restoration, or brake system upgrades, these sensors help your Porsche maintain its legendary braking precision.
What Do Brake Pad Anti-Wear Sensors Do?
Brake pad wear sensors are an essential electronic component that monitor the condition of your brake pads and alert the driver when they need replacement.
Core Functions:
• Continuously monitor brake pad thickness.
• Trigger dashboard warning lights when pads reach the wear limit.
• Protect brake discs from damage caused by worn pads.
• Support preventative maintenance and consistent braking performance.
• Ensure optimal braking efficiency and driver safety.
Accurate brake pad sensors allow you to maintain Porsche’s high standards of safety, performance, and responsiveness.
Why Do Brake Pad Anti-Wear Sensors Fail or Degrade?
Because they operate in extreme environments near the wheels and brakes, wear sensors are exposed to heat, friction, and contamination, which can cause malfunction or damage over time.
Common Causes of Failure Include:
• Melting or cracking due to high brake temperatures.
• Corrosion or electrical failure from water and road salt.
• Cable wear or fraying caused by vibration or debris.
• Poor connections or sensor dislodgement during servicing.
• Age-related degradation of wiring or insulation.
When a sensor fails, the system may provide false warnings or fail to detect worn pads, increasing the risk of brake system damage or reduced safety.
