Carlson Brake Parts 19100 Disc Brake Pad Wear Sensor

The Carlson Brake Parts 19100 is an electronic disc brake pad wear sensor designed to alert drivers when brake pads have worn to minimum thickness. This sensor uses a loop of wire with low electrical current running through it to monitor brake pad condition and trigger the dashboard warning light when pad replacement is needed.

How It Works:

As the brake pad wears down during normal use, the sensor wire becomes exposed and makes contact with the brake rotor surface. This contact breaks the electrical circuit, triggering a change in resistance that activates the brake pad warning light on your vehicle's dashboard. This electronic monitoring system provides a more reliable alert than traditional metal squealer tabs, giving drivers advance notice before brake pads reach unsafe wear levels.

Key Features:

• Electronic wear detection for accurate brake pad monitoring
• Designed as a direct replacement sensor
• Manufactured by Carlson Quality Brake Parts
• Single-piece sensor assembly
• Provides dashboard warning light activation
• Quality materials for reliable performance

Important Installation Notes:

Brake pad wear sensors are designed to break when activated and should be replaced every time new brake pads are installed. These sensors can be damaged by heat over time or during brake service work, so replacing them with new pads ensures proper brake system monitoring and prevents false warning lights or missed alerts.

The Carlson 19100 provides OEM-quality electronic brake monitoring to help maintain safe braking performance and give drivers timely notice when brake service is required.
