Detailed Description

Global Parts 1815826 is a brake wear sensor designed for vehicles that use an electronic pad wear warning system. The sensor monitors pad thickness and sends a signal when the brake pads have worn down, helping the driver schedule service before braking performance is affected.

This part cross-references Raybestos Brakes EWS249 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Brake pad wear warning light staying on
  • Broken or damaged front brake wear sensor wiring
  • Inaccurate pad wear detection
  • Service reminders caused by a failed sensor
  • Loss of brake pad wear monitoring on Audi A8 Quattro and S8 models

Installation Notes

Install on the front brake application listed in the fitment data. Confirm the connector style, terminal count, and harness routing before installation. Inspect the brake pads and related wiring at the same time, since a worn pad or damaged lead can trigger the warning system. Verify the sensor seats correctly in the pad or caliper channel before returning the vehicle to service.

Quality Assurance
