Brake pad wear sensors are a convenient part of the braking system, notifying the driver of when the material on the brake pads are getting low and need to be serviced. Unfortunately it is common in custom or upgraded braking systems that the pad wear sensor is non-existent or does not mate properly with the connector on your vehicle, leaving you with a brake pad wear warning every time you start your vehicle.

ECS Tuning has developed this direct-fit Brake Pad Wear Sensor Bypass to alleviate this issue. This sensor bypass will trick the vehicle's electronics into thinking that the brake pads have adequate pad material to keep the dashboard warning from appearing. No more unnecessary warnings when installing a big brake kit or your own custom setup. This bypass is a plug-and-play component that requires no modifications so you can revert back to your OEM setup if necessary.

Some vehicles may be equipped with two front brake pad wear sensors, or a front and rear sensor, please be sure to double check the required quantity for your vehicle before placing an order.

*During installation, make sure to clean the mated female connector on your vehicle of any dirt or debris to ensure that the Brake Pad Wear Sensor Bypass is engaged securely.

Replacement pad wear sensor, typically replaced when changing brake pads. If your brake lining warning is activated, the sensor will need to be replaced.

BMW F01 F90 G11 G3X Rear Brake Pad Wear Sensor is crucial for monitoring brake pad wear and ensuring optimal braking performance. This sensor alerts the dashboard when brake pads are nearing the end of their lifespan, helping to maintain the condition of your rotors and prevent excessive wear.

• Essential Monitoring: Sends alerts to the dashboard when brake pads are worn, ensuring timely maintenance and avoiding damage to rotors.
• Preventive Maintenance: Helps avoid premature brake pad wear and maintains braking efficiency by notifying drivers when it's time for replacement.
• Perfect Match: Designed to work seamlessly with new brake pads, ensuring accurate wear monitoring and consistent braking performance.
• Replacement Ready: Ideal for vehicles where brake pads do not come with sensors, ensuring all components are replaced for optimal braking performance.

Replacing your brake pads and sensors together ensures your braking system performs like new.
