Jaguar Xkr Brake Pad Wear Sensor Kit in US

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

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

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

Why the Sensor Probe Specification Matters on the Jaguar Xkr

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

Signs the Wear Sensor Kit on Your Jaguar Xkr Is Due

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

Why GeoBrakes for the Jaguar Xkr Wear Sensor Kit

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Jaguar Xkr Brake Pad Wear Sensor Kits

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

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

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

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

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

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