Product Details

The Airtex 5S11601 is a direct-fit disc brake pad wear sensor designed to restore proper brake wear monitoring function. This electronic sensor integrates with the vehicle's braking system to continuously monitor brake pad thickness and alert the driver when pads have worn to a critical level, triggering a dashboard warning light before brake damage or safety issues occur.

How It Works:

The sensor is mounted to the brake pad and maintains contact proximity with the brake rotor. As the brake pad wears down over time, the sensor's electrical circuit is interrupted or completed upon rotor contact, sending a signal to the vehicle's onboard system and illuminating the brake pad wear warning indicator on the instrument cluster.

Key Features:

  • Direct OE replacement — restores factory brake wear monitoring performance
  • Electronic design provides reliable, accurate wear detection
  • Manufactured by Airtex Automotive Division, a trusted OEM-quality supplier
  • Designed to be replaced alongside brake pads for accurate future wear indication
  • Includes all necessary connector hardware for plug-and-play installation

OEM & Alternate Part Numbers:

  • Airtex: 5S11601
  • Cross-Reference: 5S11606, 95561236500, SU13054, SU13059

Always replace the brake pad wear sensor when servicing brake pads and rotors to ensure the warning system continues to function accurately after the brake service is complete.

sounds too inexpensive, but hey you only live once...

Good so far

so easy. Let's see the quality of the product

You seem to have the best price and your pictures help a lot. HOWEVER -- no place did my order say "Mercury Grand Marquis 2003 *Passenger Side* Glass -- and that has me concerned because I have to go by make/model/yr and then picture alone!

Very good

Very happy with my order with Autoplicity. Hands down the best price on brake pads that I could find. One set took a little longer to arrive since the manufacturer was to send them out, but a call to customer service yielded an explanation and a few days later they were on my door step.

Timing gearset arrived in under 48 hrs! Gears look well made. Can't wait to get them on my car. Thanks for the great service!

Don't see where my coupon code took off 10%. Also did not receive a second email with tracking info. First e-mail said we would receive a tracking number in next email.

Unbelievably low prices and excellent customer service. theyre site charged me the wrong shipping, I'm thinking ok refund the difference. No they refunded me the full shipping amount. I'll definitely buy from these guys again, you can count on that. And English is their first language big plus!

Easy to find part and order.

Great price

glad you do amazon :D and the redirect was awesome. on amazon I couldn't find the race belt, only found it on your direct site. so far so good :D

Had a great first experience with Autoplicity. I ordered my package late in the day on Wednesday and it was at the front door Thursday! Another big plus is that their prices are hard to beat. Won't have a problem ordering from them again!

Very easy to use
