The brake pad wear sensor fits into the brake pad assembly and monitors pad wear. When the brake pad material wears down to the sensor contact point, the system can trigger a dashboard warning, indicating that brake pad replacement is required.
Functions
• Replaces the brake pad wear sensor
• Monitors brake pad wear condition
• Helps trigger the brake pad warning system
• Supports safe and timely brake pad replacement
• Used during brake pad or brake system service
• Replaces worn, damaged, broken, brittle, or previously triggered sensors
• OE Match replacement for Porsche 964 and 993 brake maintenance.
Why Replace This Part?
Brake pad wear sensors are designed to wear with the brake pads and may be damaged or triggered once the pads reach their wear limit. Sensors can also become brittle, corroded, broken, or damaged during brake servicing. Replacing the sensor during brake pad replacement helps restore the warning system and prevents false or missing brake wear alerts.
When to Replace This Part
• Brake pads are being replaced
• The brake pad wear warning light is illuminated
• The sensor has been triggered by worn brake pads
• The sensor wire is damaged, broken, brittle, or corroded
• Brake warning faults are being diagnosed
• The sensor was damaged during brake service
• The vehicle is undergoing Porsche 964 or 993 brake system restoration.
Where it fits on the car
This sensor fits within the brake pad wear monitoring system on Porsche 964 and 993 models. Exact position can vary depending on model year, axle position, brake caliper type, and brake pad specification.

The OE Match Rear Brake Pad Wear Sensor is a high-quality replacement braking system component designed to monitor rear brake pad wear and provide a warning when the brake pads have reached their minimum safe operating thickness. Manufactured to OE specifications for fit, performance and reliability, this sensor forms an integral part of the vehicle's brake wear monitoring system.
Fits:
- Porsche 964 (911) C2 1989-93
- Porsche 964 (911) C4 1989-93
- Porsche 964 (911) RS 3.6L 1991-93
- Porsche 964 (911) RS 3.8L 1991-93
- Porsche 964 (911) TURBO 3.3L 1991-93
- Porsche 964 (911) TURBO 3.6L 1991-93
Installed directly into the rear brake pad assembly, the sensor continuously monitors the condition of the brake friction material. Once the pads wear to a predetermined level, the sensor activates the dashboard brake wear warning light, alerting the driver that rear brake pad replacement is required. This helps maintain braking efficiency and protects other braking system components from unnecessary wear.
What This Product Does:
- Monitors rear brake pad wear throughout the life of the brake pads.
- Activates the brake wear warning light when replacement is required.
- Provides early notification of rear brake maintenance needs.
- Helps prevent excessive brake pad wear.
- Protects brake discs from damage caused by worn brake pads.
- Supports safe and effective braking performance.
- Assists with preventative brake system maintenance.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
- Rear brake wear warning light remaining illuminated.
- Intermittent brake wear warning messages.
- False brake wear alerts despite sufficient brake pad thickness.
- No warning indication when rear brake pads are excessively worn.
- Damaged, broken or frayed sensor wiring.
- Corrosion or physical damage to the sensor body.
- Brake system fault codes related to the wear monitoring circuit.
- Warning light remaining active after brake pad replacement.
Why Replacement Matters:
- Rear brake pad wear sensors operate in harsh conditions and are continually exposed to brake dust, heat, moisture, road debris and vibration. In many applications, the sensor is designed to wear alongside the brake pads and should be replaced whenever new rear brake pads are fitted to ensure continued monitoring accuracy.
- A damaged or malfunctioning sensor can provide inaccurate brake wear information, potentially leading to unnecessary warning lights or failure to alert the driver when rear brake pads require replacement. If brake pads wear beyond their service limit, braking performance may be reduced and expensive damage to the brake discs can occur.
- Replacing a worn rear brake pad wear sensor restores accurate brake monitoring, ensures proper operation of the warning system and helps maintain safe braking performance. An OE Match replacement provides factory-style fitment, dependable operation and long-term reliability, making it an essential component during rear brake servicing and maintenance.

OEMatch Brake Pad Wear Sensors — Stopping Power, Consistent Control
OEMatch brake pad wear sensors for Porsche models monitor pad thickness and provide timely warnings when replacement is needed. Accurate sensing supports routine maintenance, helps protect discs from excessive wear and contributes to predictable braking behaviour across classic and modern Porsche vehicles.
Understanding OEMatch Brake Pad Wear SensorsOEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are made by the same company that produced your Porsche’s original brake pad wear sensors. OE (Original Equipment) refers to parts matching original specifications for the brake pad wear sensors and may be supplied by alternative manufacturers. Aftermarket parts offer alternative options, sometimes with enhanced features or better value. OEMatch supplies non-OEM brake pad wear sensors engineered as direct-fit alternatives to OEM parts, made to original-spec dimensions and tolerances for Porsche models. These sensors detect pad material loss either by completing or interrupting an electrical circuit or by a change in resistance as the pad wears, which triggers a dashboard warning or service message. Sensors are routed and secured close to the pads and rely on intact insulation and secure connectors to deliver reliable signals. OEMatch maintains a wide Porsche-focused catalogue and extensive OE cross-references to help identify the correct item for each model and application.
Benefits Include- Restores accurate pad-wear monitoring so replacements are identified in good time.
- Helps prevent unnecessary disc damage by prompting timely pad changes.
- Simplifies servicing with standardised connections and mounting that fit original locations.
- Supports consistent warning-system behaviour across many Porsche models.
- Exposure to high brake temperatures can melt or crack sensor housings or cable insulation.
- Corrosion or ingress from water and road salt can cause electrical faults.
- Abrasion and vibration can wear or fray sensor cables and protective sleeving.
- Poor connector contacts or incorrect routing during servicing may interrupt the signal.
Replacing faulty or degraded sensors preserves the vehicle’s ability to warn of low pad thickness, reducing the risk of disc damage and helping maintain braking consistency. Timely replacement supports scheduled maintenance and contributes to overall braking system reliability for Porsche models.
Advantages- Wide model coverage and OE cross-references to aid correct part selection.
- Designed to fit original mounting points and clearances for straightforward installation.
- Durable materials and connector designs intended to resist heat and contamination.
- Suitable for maintenance, restoration and routine brake servicing.
These items affect safety-critical systems. Installation should be carried out by a qualified technician following model-specific procedures and torque settings. Use calibrated tools and new fasteners where specified.
