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