What does a brake pad wear sensor do?

A brake pad wear sensor is a small electronic component that contacts your brake pads. When the pads wear down to a certain thickness, the sensor triggers a warning light on your dashboard, letting you know it's time to replace the pads.

Do I need to replace the sensor every time I replace my brake pads?

It's recommended to replace the brake pad wear sensor whenever it has triggered the warning light, or if it shows signs of damage. If the sensor hasn't triggered and appears intact, some mechanics may reuse it, but replacing it ensures the warning system remains functional.

Does this sensor come with new brake pads?

No, this is a separate component. This product is just the brake pad wear sensor itself and does not include brake pads or rotors.
