      Brake pad sensor replacement

      Brake pad sensor with information about the need for replacement

      Brake pad sensor replacement solves problems in the braking system:

      The brake pad sensor is a small rod with a wire that is pressed against the edge of the brake pad. When the pad wears, the rod touches the disc and completes an electrical circuit, activating the brake pad wear indicator on the dashboard. This allows the driver to notice in time that the brake pads are worn out and replace them before they are completely worn out.

      • Driving Safety: Early detection of brake pad wear and timely replacement ensures more reliable braking and improves overall driving safety.
      • Preserve other brake system components: If worn brake pads are not replaced promptly, it can cause damage to the brake rotors and other brake system components, which can end up being a more costly repair.
      • Accurate Wear Indication: Modern brake pad wear sensors provide an accurate indication of wear levels, allowing drivers to plan maintenance more effectively.
      • Improves Driving Comfort and Ease: When a driver knows their brakes are working effectively, they can have more confidence and feel more comfortable behind the wheel. This can lead to a more enjoyable and relaxing driving experience.
      • Improving the Accuracy of Dashboard Readings: A faulty sensor can send incorrect signals to the dashboard, causing erroneous or misleading indicators. Replacing the sensor ensures that brake status information is displayed correctly.

      Replacing a faulty brake pad wear sensor can help eliminate the problem, keeping your braking system reliable and safe.
