Porsche 918 Spyder Brake Pad Wear Sensor Kit in US

A brake pad wear sensor kit for the Porsche 918 Spyder does one critical thing that a pad change alone cannot: it ensures the brake warning light on your 918 Spyder dashboard accurately reflects the condition of the next set of brake pads. Without a new sensor on the Porsche 918 Spyder, 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 918 Spyder. On Porsche 918 Spyder vehicles where a previous service skipped the sensor, the brake warning light may also remain on permanently after new pads are installed on the 918 Spyder.

What Is Included in the Porsche 918 Spyder Brake Pad Wear Sensor Kit

The kit for your Porsche 918 Spyder includes the brake pad wear sensor probe unit manufactured to OEM contact resistance and threshold depth for the 918 Spyder monitoring circuit, the wiring connector mating with the Porsche 918 Spyder brake monitoring harness where required, the retaining clip or mounting bracket securing the sensor to the 918 Spyder brake pad or caliper correctly, and in pad-inclusive kits, the brake pads for the Porsche 918 Spyder with sensor pre-assembled at factory-correct position on the 918 Spyder pad.

Why the Sensor Probe Specification Matters on the Porsche 918 Spyder

A brake pad wear sensor on the Porsche 918 Spyder is a calibrated component manufactured to trigger the 918 Spyder brake warning circuit at a specific remaining pad thickness. Too long and it triggers early on your Porsche 918 Spyder, sending drivers for an unnecessary brake service with significant 918 Spyder pad life remaining. Too short and it triggers late or not at all on the 918 Spyder, leaving the driver with no advance warning as the Porsche 918 Spyder pads approach the metal backing plate.

Signs the Wear Sensor Kit on Your Porsche 918 Spyder Is Due

• Brake pad warning light illuminated on your Porsche 918 Spyder dashboard
• 918 Spyder warning light that stays on after a recent pad change, indicating sensor was not replaced on the Porsche 918 Spyder
• Brake pads on your Porsche 918 Spyder at or approaching minimum thickness on inspection
• Worn sensor probe visible on the 918 Spyder brake pad during a brake service inspection

Why GeoBrakes for the Porsche 918 Spyder Wear Sensor Kit

Wear sensor compatibility for the Porsche 918 Spyder is more exacting than most brake components. Probe length, contact resistance specification, and connector pinout must all match the 918 Spyder brake monitoring circuit exactly. A wrong-spec sensor on your Porsche 918 Spyder either triggers warnings at the wrong pad thickness or fails to connect to the existing 918 Spyder harness. Every kit in the GeoBrakes catalogue is sourced to OEM specification for the Porsche 918 Spyder exact year and model, with front and rear positions listed separately.

Frequently Asked Questions - Porsche 918 Spyder Brake Pad Wear Sensor Kits

How do I know if my Porsche 918 Spyder has electronic brake pad wear sensors?

Check your Porsche 918 Spyder owner's manual for a brake pad warning light in the instrument cluster section. Use the GeoBrakes vehicle selector to confirm whether your Porsche 918 Spyder application requires an electronic sensor kit.

Can I buy the wear sensor separately from the brake pads for my Porsche 918 Spyder?

Yes. GeoBrakes carries sensors as standalone components and as part of sensor kits for the Porsche 918 Spyder. If replacing 918 Spyder 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 Porsche 918 Spyder.

Will the brake warning light turn off automatically after installing a new sensor on my Porsche 918 Spyder?

On most Porsche 918 Spyder vehicles, the brake pad warning light turns off once the new sensor is correctly installed and the ignition is cycled. On some Porsche 918 Spyder European platforms, a diagnostic scan tool reset may be required. Check your 918 Spyder service documentation if the light does not clear after installation.
