Febi 169-540-16-17 Brake Pad Wear Indicator Sensor

The Febi 169-540-16-17 is a front brake pad wear indicator sensor designed as an aftermarket replacement for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. This critical safety component monitors brake pad thickness and alerts the driver through a dashboard warning light when brake pads have worn to a predetermined minimum thickness, indicating the need for replacement.

How It Works:

The sensor features an electrical circuit embedded in a plastic housing with a contact tip designed to touch the brake rotor as the pad wears down. When the brake pad reaches minimum thickness, the rotor wears through the sensor circuit, breaking the connection and triggering the dashboard warning light. This early warning system helps prevent brake damage and ensures optimal braking performance.

Key Features:

• 2-pin electrical connector with blue housing and green seal
• Front axle application for non-ceramic brake systems
• One-time use consumable component designed for replacement during brake service
• Replaces Mercedes-Benz OEM part number 1695401617
• Pre-wired with proper length cable for correct routing

Important:

This sensor is a consumable part that must be replaced whenever it activates the warning light or during brake pad replacement. It cannot be reused once the circuit has been broken. Not compatible with ceramic brake systems.
