What does a brake pad wear sensor do?

A brake pad wear sensor is a small wire that attaches to your brake pad. When the pad wears down to a specific thickness, it makes contact with the rotor, triggering a warning light on your dashboard to let you know it's time for new pads.

Why should I replace the wear sensor when changing brake pads?

It's a good idea to replace the wear sensor when you replace the pads because the sensor is designed to be a one-time use item. Once it triggers the warning light, it's often damaged and needs to be replaced for the system to function correctly again.

Does this sensor wire come with new brake pads?

No, this part is just the brake pad wear sensor wire. It is sold separately from the brake pads themselves. You will need to purchase brake pads in addition to this sensor if you are replacing your pads.
