Jaguar Xjr Brake Pad Wear Sensor Kit in US

A brake pad wear sensor kit for the Jaguar Xjr does one critical thing that a pad change alone cannot: it ensures the brake warning light on your Xjr dashboard accurately reflects the condition of the next set of brake pads. Without a new sensor on the Jaguar Xjr, 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 Xjr. On Jaguar Xjr vehicles where a previous service skipped the sensor, the brake warning light may also remain on permanently after new pads are installed on the Xjr.

What Is Included in the Jaguar Xjr Brake Pad Wear Sensor Kit

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

Why the Sensor Probe Specification Matters on the Jaguar Xjr

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

Signs the Wear Sensor Kit on Your Jaguar Xjr Is Due

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

Why GeoBrakes for the Jaguar Xjr Wear Sensor Kit

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Jaguar Xjr Brake Pad Wear Sensor Kits

How do I know if my Jaguar Xjr has electronic brake pad wear sensors?

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

Can I buy the wear sensor separately from the brake pads for my Jaguar Xjr?

Yes. GeoBrakes carries sensors as standalone components and as part of sensor kits for the Jaguar Xjr. If replacing Xjr 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 Jaguar Xjr.

Will the brake warning light turn off automatically after installing a new sensor on my Jaguar Xjr?

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