Brake wear indicators (BWI)

Brief description

The brake wear indicator measures the wear of the brake pads. These pads include a wire, which comes in contact with the break disc after wear.

This will transmit a signal to the control unit.

The brake wear indicator or sensor is a safety feature to warn the driver if the break pad lifetime becomes critical. The sensor is mounted on the brake pad and routed through the caliper. Typically 2-4 wheels of a vehicle rely on brake wear indicators.
