Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Brake Pad Wear Sensor in US

A disc brake pad wear sensor on the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque is your vehicle's advance warning system for brake pad replacement. It eliminates the need to rely on audible squealing from your Range Rover Evoque to know your pads are getting thin, instead triggering a dashboard warning light at a preset minimum thickness on the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, giving you time to plan the replacement before the pads wear through to the metal backing plate. Replacing a triggered sensor with every Range Rover Evoque pad change is the only way to keep that early-warning system working for the next service interval.

How the Brake Pad Wear Sensor Works on the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque

The wear sensor on the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque is a small probe embedded in or clipped to the brake pad. When the Range Rover Evoque pad wears down to the replacement threshold, the probe contacts the rotor surface. This contact creates a circuit change that signals the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque ABS or brake control module, illuminating the brake warning light. Once the probe on the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque has contacted the rotor, it is destroyed and cannot be reused. It is a single-use component by design on the Range Rover Evoque.

Why Replace the Wear Sensor at Every Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Pad Change

Installing fresh brake pads on the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque without fitting a new wear sensor defeats the entire purpose of having a brake monitoring system on your Range Rover Evoque. A previously triggered sensor probe is worn through and has no remaining material to detect the next set of Range Rover Evoque pads wearing down. From day one of the new Land Rover Range Rover Evoque brake pads, the warning system is non-functional without a new sensor.

Signs the Wear Sensor on Your Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Needs Replacing

• Brake warning light staying on your Land Rover Range Rover Evoque after new pads have been fitted
• Intermittent brake warning light on your Range Rover Evoque that clears and returns without obvious cause
• Visible wear notch or contact mark on the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque sensor probe tip
• OBD fault codes on your Range Rover Evoque referencing the brake pad monitoring circuit

Why GeoBrakes for the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Brake Pad Wear Sensor

Wear sensor compatibility for the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque is more exacting than most brake parts. The probe length, contact resistance specification, and connector design must all match the Range Rover Evoque brake monitoring circuit precisely. A wrong sensor triggers Land Rover Range Rover Evoque warnings at the wrong pad thickness, or not at all. Every sensor in the GeoBrakes catalogue is sourced to original equipment probe and connector specifications for the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, with front and rear positions listed separately.

Frequently Asked Questions - Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Brake Pad Wear Sensor

Do I need to replace the brake pad wear sensor every time I change pads on my Land Rover Range Rover Evoque?

Yes, on Land Rover Range Rover Evoque vehicles equipped with electronic wear sensors. The sensor probe on your Range Rover Evoque is a single-use component. Once it has contacted the rotor and triggered the Range Rover Evoque warning light, the probe is consumed. Always replace the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque sensor during every pad change.

Does my Land Rover Range Rover Evoque have electronic brake pad wear sensors?

Many vehicles use a mechanical wear indicator instead of electronic sensors. Check your Land Rover Range Rover Evoque owner's manual or use the GeoBrakes vehicle selector to confirm whether your Range Rover Evoque uses an electronic pad monitoring system.

Can a faulty wear sensor keep the brake warning light on my Land Rover Range Rover Evoque on after new pads are installed?

Yes. If the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque wear sensor from a previous brake service was not replaced, or if the probe has been damaged on your Range Rover Evoque, the brake warning light will remain on even with new pads. Replacing the Range Rover Evoque sensor will clear the fault and restore normal operation.
