What is the purpose of a brake pad wear sensor?

A brake pad wear sensor is a safety component that electronically signals when your brake pads have worn down to a critical level. This alert helps you know when it's time to replace your brake pads before they cause damage to the rotors or compromise braking performance.

How do I know if my vehicle needs a new brake pad wear sensor?

Your vehicle's dashboard will typically illuminate a brake warning light when the wear sensor has detected that the brake pads are worn out. It's recommended to replace the sensor whenever you replace the brake pads to ensure continued monitoring.
