What happens when the brake wear lead sensor triggers?

When your brake pads wear down to a specific thickness, the sensor makes contact with the rotor. This completes a circuit and typically illuminates a warning light on your dashboard, indicating it's time to replace your brake pads.

How do I know if I need to replace this sensor?

If your brake warning light is illuminated on the dashboard, it could be due to worn brake pads triggering the sensor, or the sensor itself may have failed. Replacing the sensor along with the brake pads is a common practice.

Does this sensor come with new brake pads?

No, this part is just the brake wear lead sensor. It is designed to be installed with compatible brake pads and does not include the pads themselves.
