GeoBrakes stocks disc brake pad wear sensor kits confirmed to fit the Porsche Carrera Gt, combining the wear sensor probe manufactured to the exact OEM probe length and contact resistance for the Carrera Gt with connector hardware, retaining clips, and in pad-inclusive configurations the brake pads themselves, so the complete brake monitoring system on your Porsche Carrera Gt is restored correctly in a single service.
A brake pad wear sensor kit for the Porsche Carrera Gt does one critical thing that a pad change alone cannot: it ensures the brake warning light on your Carrera Gt dashboard accurately reflects the condition of the next set of brake pads. Without a new sensor on the Porsche Carrera Gt, 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 Carrera Gt. On Porsche Carrera Gt vehicles where a previous service skipped the sensor, the brake warning light may also remain on permanently after new pads are installed on the Carrera Gt.
The kit for your Porsche Carrera Gt includes the brake pad wear sensor probe unit manufactured to OEM contact resistance and threshold depth for the Carrera Gt monitoring circuit, the wiring connector mating with the Porsche Carrera Gt brake monitoring harness where required, the retaining clip or mounting bracket securing the sensor to the Carrera Gt brake pad or caliper correctly, and in pad-inclusive kits, the brake pads for the Porsche Carrera Gt with sensor pre-assembled at factory-correct position on the Carrera Gt pad.
A brake pad wear sensor on the Porsche Carrera Gt is a calibrated component manufactured to trigger the Carrera Gt brake warning circuit at a specific remaining pad thickness. Too long and it triggers early on your Porsche Carrera Gt, sending drivers for an unnecessary brake service with significant Carrera Gt pad life remaining. Too short and it triggers late or not at all on the Carrera Gt, leaving the driver with no advance warning as the Porsche Carrera Gt pads approach the metal backing plate.
Wear sensor compatibility for the Porsche Carrera Gt is more exacting than most brake components. Probe length, contact resistance specification, and connector pinout must all match the Carrera Gt brake monitoring circuit exactly. A wrong-spec sensor on your Porsche Carrera Gt either triggers warnings at the wrong pad thickness or fails to connect to the existing Carrera Gt harness. Every kit in the GeoBrakes catalogue is sourced to OEM specification for the Porsche Carrera Gt exact year and model, with front and rear positions listed separately.
How do I know if my Porsche Carrera Gt has electronic brake pad wear sensors?
Check your Porsche Carrera Gt owner's manual for a brake pad warning light in the instrument cluster section. Use the GeoBrakes vehicle selector to confirm whether your Porsche Carrera Gt application requires an electronic sensor kit.
Can I buy the wear sensor separately from the brake pads for my Porsche Carrera Gt?
Yes. GeoBrakes carries sensors as standalone components and as part of sensor kits for the Porsche Carrera Gt. If replacing Carrera Gt 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 Carrera Gt.
Will the brake warning light turn off automatically after installing a new sensor on my Porsche Carrera Gt?
On most Porsche Carrera Gt vehicles, the brake pad warning light turns off once the new sensor is correctly installed and the ignition is cycled. On some Porsche Carrera Gt European platforms, a diagnostic scan tool reset may be required. Check your Carrera Gt service documentation if the light does not clear after installation.
