Brake pad wear sensors in Astana
A brake pad wear sensor warns the driver that the linings have worn down to the minimum thickness: a warning light or message appears on the dashboard. Not every car has one, and many have it on only one wheel per axle. We select front and rear sensors by VIN to match your connector — original and proven aftermarket in stock in Astana.

Types of wear sensors
An electric sensor is a wire with a contact embedded in the pad lining: when the lining wears down to the contact, the circuit is grounded through the disc or worn through, and the control unit lights the warning. A mechanical one («squealer») is a metal tab on the pad that starts touching the disc and squeals when worn. Electric sensors come separately or built into the pads.
When to replace the sensor
A triggered electric sensor is usually single-use — its contact has worn away with the lining, so it's replaced together with the pads. If pads are changed before it triggers and the sensor is intact, it can be kept, though many manufacturers recommend fitting a new one. A light that stays on with new pads means a broken wire or a sensor that's disconnected or wrong.
How to choose
Sensors differ in cable length, connector, mounting and position (front or rear), and on some cars also by side. Some pads are sold with a sensor included, others without. Select by VIN: we show original and aftermarket from Textar, ATE, Bosch, TRW and Febi.

FAQ
The light comes on when the lining is already near the minimum. Replace the pads soon — after that the disc starts wearing metal on metal.
If the sensor has triggered — yes, it's single-use. If it hasn't triggered and is intact, it can stay, but many manufacturers recommend a new one.
The sensor isn't connected, the wire is damaged, or a sensor with a different length or connector was fitted. On some cars the service indicator also needs resetting after replacement.
