Detailed Description

This Carlson brake sensor is used on select Audi Q5 models with front disc brake caliper repair kit D1663 applications. It provides wear indication as the brake pads thin and the sensor element frays, triggering the warning that service is due. The Carlson 19081 is a practical replacement for Audi Q5 front brake pad wear sensor service, and the part number 19081 helps confirm the correct application during ordering and repair planning.

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

What It Helps Address

  • Brake pad wear warning light concerns
  • Damaged or frayed front pad wear sensor wiring
  • Incorrect brake pad wear indication after service
  • Sensor replacement during front brake pad maintenance
  • Restoring wear monitoring on Audi Q5 front brakes

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front axle fitment against the vehicle build date and brake hardware before installation. For 2014 Audi Q5, the listed application applies thru 7/21/13 with D1663 disc brake pad wear sensor notes. Inspect the sensor routing and connector condition during brake service, and confirm the sensor seats correctly in the pad or caliper area before returning the vehicle to service.

Quality Assurance

Carlson manufactures its electric wear sensors with quality materials to support proper brake system function and reliable wear indication.
