Electronic Brake Wear Sensors are an added safety feature on many vehicles used to warn a vehicle’s driver when their brake pads are near the end of their service life.
Bendix’s range of Electronic Brake Wear Sensors are designed to be a direct OE replacement and cover over 900 applications. Electronic Brake Wear Sensors are mounted on the brake pad on any combination of the four wheels and may have sensors on 1 to 4 corners of the vehicle.
When the brake pad wears and the Electronic Brake wear sensor makes contact with the rotor a warning is given usually in the form of a light on the vehicles dashboard.
Wear sensors are designed to break or complete a circuit as the brake pad wears and hence are not re-useable and need to be changed whenever the brake pads are replaced or the warning light indicates.
FEATURES:
Electronic Brake Wear Sensors should be changed whenever the pads are replaced
If they have made contact with the rotor they cannot be reused
Even if they have not made contact they should still be replaced with every pad change
Materials become worn during their service life and can affect their functionality
To ensure performance throughout the life of the pads they should be replaced with a new sensor
