Detailed Description

This Carlson Disc Brake Pad Wear Sensor is part of the Carlson wear sensor line, which focuses on proper brake pad monitoring and dependable electrical function.

This part cross-references D396 and D394 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Brake pad wear warning light staying on after pad service
  • Frayed or damaged brake pad wear sensor wiring
  • Loss of brake pad wear indicator function
  • Incorrect wear sensor readings on BMW brake systems
  • Service replacement for worn rear or front pad wear sensors

Installation Notes and Tips

  • Verify the vehicle position before ordering; this part is listed for rear and front applications depending on model.
  • Some fitments note a required Disc Brake Caliper Pin Boot Kit for BMW 535i xDrive and 535xi rear applications.
  • Confirm the existing sensor routing and connector style against the removed part before installation.
  • For BMW 850Ci, 850CSi, and 850i applications, match the listed front or rear position exactly.
