Centric Brake Pad Wear Sensor

The Centric brake pad wear sensor (also called a brake wear sensor or disc brake pad wear indicator sensor) is an electronic component that monitors the condition of your disc brake pads. When the pad friction material wears to a preset limit, the sensor sends a signal to the vehicle's instrument cluster. This turns on the brake warning light so you know it is time to replace the pads.

Key Features:

• Electronic wear-sensing design that alerts the driver when brake pads reach the end of their service life
• Built to restore the original brake monitoring function of the vehicle
• Designed for a direct-replacement installation with the correct connector and lead configuration for each application
• Made by Centric Parts, a well-known supplier of brake components for the aftermarket
• Suited to installation during a brake pad replacement, so the monitoring system stays reliable

Brake pad wear sensors are usually single-use parts. Replace them whenever you install new brake pads, so the warning system keeps working. Choose the part number that matches your application from the options listed on this page.
