A disc brake pad wear sensor on the Mercedes Benz Sls Amg is your vehicle's advance warning system for brake pad replacement. It eliminates the need to rely on audible squealing from your Sls Amg to know your pads are getting thin, instead triggering a dashboard warning light at a preset minimum thickness on the Mercedes Benz Sls Amg, giving you time to plan the replacement before the pads wear through to the metal backing plate. Replacing a triggered sensor with every Sls Amg pad change is the only way to keep that early-warning system working for the next service interval.
The wear sensor on the Mercedes Benz Sls Amg is a small probe embedded in or clipped to the brake pad. When the Sls Amg pad wears down to the replacement threshold, the probe contacts the rotor surface. This contact creates a circuit change that signals the Mercedes Benz Sls Amg ABS or brake control module, illuminating the brake warning light. Once the probe on the Mercedes Benz Sls Amg has contacted the rotor, it is destroyed and cannot be reused. It is a single-use component by design on the Sls Amg.
Installing fresh brake pads on the Mercedes Benz Sls Amg without fitting a new wear sensor defeats the entire purpose of having a brake monitoring system on your Sls Amg. A previously triggered sensor probe is worn through and has no remaining material to detect the next set of Sls Amg pads wearing down. From day one of the new Mercedes Benz Sls Amg brake pads, the warning system is non-functional without a new sensor.
Wear sensor compatibility for the Mercedes Benz Sls Amg is more exacting than most brake parts. The probe length, contact resistance specification, and connector design must all match the Sls Amg brake monitoring circuit precisely. A wrong sensor triggers Mercedes Benz Sls Amg 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 Mercedes Benz Sls Amg, with front and rear positions listed separately.
Do I need to replace the brake pad wear sensor every time I change pads on my Mercedes Benz Sls Amg?
Yes, on Mercedes Benz Sls Amg vehicles equipped with electronic wear sensors. The sensor probe on your Sls Amg is a single-use component. Once it has contacted the rotor and triggered the Sls Amg warning light, the probe is consumed. Always replace the Mercedes Benz Sls Amg sensor during every pad change.
Does my Mercedes Benz Sls Amg have electronic brake pad wear sensors?
Many vehicles use a mechanical wear indicator instead of electronic sensors. Check your Mercedes Benz Sls Amg owner's manual or use the GeoBrakes vehicle selector to confirm whether your Sls Amg uses an electronic pad monitoring system.
Can a faulty wear sensor keep the brake warning light on my Mercedes Benz Sls Amg on after new pads are installed?
Yes. If the Mercedes Benz Sls Amg wear sensor from a previous brake service was not replaced, or if the probe has been damaged on your Sls Amg, the brake warning light will remain on even with new pads. Replacing the Sls Amg sensor will clear the fault and restore normal operation.
