Brake Pad Wear Sensor. 
The OE Match Brake Pad Wear Sensor is a high-quality replacement braking system component designed to monitor brake pad wear and provide a timely warning when the brake pads approach their minimum safe thickness. Manufactured to OE specifications for fit, reliability and performance, this sensor is an essential part of the vehicle's brake wear monitoring system.  

Fits:

• Porsche 944 2.5L 8V 1982-87
• Porsche 944 2.7L 8V 1988-89
• Porsche 944S 2.5L 16V 1987-88  

Installed directly into the brake pad assembly, the sensor continuously monitors the condition of the brake friction material. When the pads wear to a predetermined limit, the sensor activates the dashboard brake wear warning light, alerting the driver that brake service is required. This helps maintain optimum braking performance and prevents unnecessary damage to other brake system components.  

What This Product Does:

• Monitors brake pad wear throughout the life of the brake pads.
• Activates the brake wear warning light when replacement is required.
• Provides early notification of brake maintenance needs.
• Helps prevent excessive brake pad wear.
• Protects brake discs from damage caused by worn brake pads.
• Supports safe and effective braking performance.
• Assists with preventative brake system maintenance.

Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:

• Brake wear warning light remaining permanently illuminated.
• Intermittent brake wear warning messages.
• False brake wear alerts despite sufficient brake pad thickness.
• No warning indication when brake pads are excessively worn.
• Damaged, frayed or broken sensor wiring.
• Corrosion or physical damage to the sensor body.
• Brake monitoring fault codes stored within the vehicle system.
• Warning light remaining active after brake pad replacement.

Why Replacement Matters:

• Brake pad wear sensors operate in a harsh environment and are exposed to brake dust, heat, moisture, road debris and constant vibration. In many applications, the sensor is designed to wear alongside the brake pads and should be replaced whenever new brake pads are installed to maintain accurate monitoring.
• A damaged or malfunctioning sensor can provide inaccurate wear information, potentially leading to unnecessary warning lights or failure to notify the driver when brake pads require replacement. If brake pads wear beyond their safe operating limit, braking performance may be reduced and costly damage to the brake discs can occur.
• Replacing a worn brake pad wear sensor restores accurate brake wear monitoring, ensures correct operation of the dashboard warning system and helps maintain safe braking performance. An OE Match replacement provides factory-style fitment, dependable operation and long-term reliability, making it an essential component during brake servicing and maintenance.
