Textar Brake Pad Wear Sensor - Front

A brake pad wear sensor is a small electronic device that signals when your brake pads have worn down to a critical level, alerting you that they need to be replaced to maintain safe braking performance and prevent damage to other brake components.

You must verify the part number (98058200) against your vehicle's make, model, year, and specific engine variant. Check the compatibility list provided and always confirm measurements and specifications, as variations can exist.

The sensor should be replaced when it has been activated (triggered the warning light) or if it is found to be damaged or defective during brake inspection or service.

While possible for experienced DIYers, brake system components require careful installation. It is recommended to have a qualified mechanic install the brake pad wear sensor to ensure correct fitment and electrical connection for accurate warning system function.

Ignoring the warning light can lead to severely worn brake pads, potentially damaging the brake rotors, reducing braking effectiveness, and compromising vehicle safety. Replacing worn pads and activated sensors promptly is crucial.

The sensor has a Length of 1,205 mm. The packaging dimensions are 18.5 cm (length) x 12.5 cm (width) x 1 cm (height).

The weight of this Textar Brake Pad Wear Sensor is 0.047 kg.

The wear sensor may have been damaged during pad installation or may not be properly connected. Ensure the new sensor is correctly installed and securely connected. If the issue persists, the sensor may need replacement.

The wear sensor might be faulty or improperly installed. Double-check the connection and physical installation. If the sensor is suspected to be defective, it needs to be replaced.

This can indicate that the brake pads are excessively worn and have reached the metal backing plate, potentially damaging the rotor. The wear sensor should have triggered a warning previously. Inspect pads and rotors immediately for damage and replace worn components.
