Detailed Description

Carlson Disc Brake Pad Wear Sensor 19041 is built for vehicles that use an electric pad wear monitoring system. As the brake pads wear down, the sensor frays and triggers the warning signal, helping indicate when pad replacement is needed. This part number is used across multiple Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen brake applications, including Mercedes-Benz Metris, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, and Volkswagen Crafter platforms. Carlson 19041 is a practical choice when replacing a worn brake pad wear sensor during brake service.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Brake pad wear warning light staying on after pad service
• Frayed or damaged pad wear sensor wiring
• Loss of brake pad wear indication on Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Metris models
• Faulty wear sensor readings during brake inspection
• Need for a replacement sensor during front or rear brake maintenance
