Bmw 745li Brake Pad Wear Sensor Kit in US

A brake pad wear sensor kit for the Bmw 745li does one critical thing that a pad change alone cannot: it ensures the brake warning light on your 745li dashboard accurately reflects the condition of the next set of brake pads. Without a new sensor on the Bmw 745li, the warning system is non-functional from day one of the new pads, there is no advance notice for the next replacement cycle on your 745li. On Bmw 745li vehicles where a previous service skipped the sensor, the brake warning light may also remain on permanently after new pads are installed on the 745li.

What Is Included in the Bmw 745li Brake Pad Wear Sensor Kit

The kit for your Bmw 745li includes the brake pad wear sensor probe unit manufactured to OEM contact resistance and threshold depth for the 745li monitoring circuit, the wiring connector mating with the Bmw 745li brake monitoring harness where required, the retaining clip or mounting bracket securing the sensor to the 745li brake pad or caliper correctly, and in pad-inclusive kits, the brake pads for the Bmw 745li with sensor pre-assembled at factory-correct position on the 745li pad.

Why the Sensor Probe Specification Matters on the Bmw 745li

A brake pad wear sensor on the Bmw 745li is a calibrated component manufactured to trigger the 745li brake warning circuit at a specific remaining pad thickness. Too long and it triggers early on your Bmw 745li, sending drivers for an unnecessary brake service with significant 745li pad life remaining. Too short and it triggers late or not at all on the 745li, leaving the driver with no advance warning as the Bmw 745li pads approach the metal backing plate.

Signs the Wear Sensor Kit on Your Bmw 745li Is Due

• Brake pad warning light illuminated on your Bmw 745li dashboard
• 745li warning light that stays on after a recent pad change, indicating sensor was not replaced on the Bmw 745li
• Brake pads on your Bmw 745li at or approaching minimum thickness on inspection
• Worn sensor probe visible on the 745li brake pad during a brake service inspection

Why GeoBrakes for the Bmw 745li Wear Sensor Kit

Wear sensor compatibility for the Bmw 745li is more exacting than most brake components. Probe length, contact resistance specification, and connector pinout must all match the 745li brake monitoring circuit exactly. A wrong-spec sensor on your Bmw 745li either triggers warnings at the wrong pad thickness or fails to connect to the existing 745li harness. Every kit in the GeoBrakes catalogue is sourced to OEM specification for the Bmw 745li exact year and model, with front and rear positions listed separately.

Frequently Asked Questions - Bmw 745li Brake Pad Wear Sensor Kits

How do I know if my Bmw 745li has electronic brake pad wear sensors?

Check your Bmw 745li owner's manual for a brake pad warning light in the instrument cluster section. Use the GeoBrakes vehicle selector to confirm whether your Bmw 745li application requires an electronic sensor kit.

Can I buy the wear sensor separately from the brake pads for my Bmw 745li?

Yes. GeoBrakes carries sensors as standalone components and as part of sensor kits for the Bmw 745li. If replacing 745li pads that did not include a sensor and the existing sensor has already triggered, a standalone sensor or sensor kit is the correct purchase for your Bmw 745li.

Will the brake warning light turn off automatically after installing a new sensor on my Bmw 745li?

On most Bmw 745li vehicles, the brake pad warning light turns off once the new sensor is correctly installed and the ignition is cycled. On some Bmw 745li European platforms, a diagnostic scan tool reset may be required. Check your 745li service documentation if the light does not clear after installation.
