What does a brake pad wear sensor do?

A brake pad wear sensor is a small electronic component that contacts the brake rotor when the brake pad material wears down to a specific thickness. When this happens, the sensor triggers a warning light on your dashboard, alerting you that your brake pads need to be replaced soon.

How do I know if I need to replace my brake pad wear sensor?

You should replace the brake pad wear sensor whenever you replace your brake pads, especially if the old sensor was worn or damaged. If your dashboard brake warning light is illuminated, it's a strong indication that the sensor has done its job and needs replacement along with the pads.
