What This Sensor Helps Address

• Brake pad wear warning light staying on after pad service
• Damaged or broken wear sensor wiring at the brake assembly
• Incorrect pad wear signal from an aged sensor
• Loss of brake pad monitoring on equipped vehicles

Installation Notes

Verify the brake system type and position before ordering, since fitment varies by model, year, and brake package. Several applications note exclusions for ceramic composite brakes or specific sport brake systems. Confirm the connector routing and sensor length against the original part number V30-72-0179 before installation.
