Detailed Description

The PowerStop SW-0517 rear disc brake pad wear sensor is made for vehicles that use an electronic brake wear indicator at the rear axle. It is engineered to restore proper wear-sensor operation after brake pad service, helping the vehicle’s monitoring system detect pad condition as intended. This part is a direct-fit replacement for the rear position on 2010-2025 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500, 2018-2025 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD, and 2007-2009 Dodge Sprinter 3500 models.

This part cross-references Centric Parts 116.35014 and Raybestos Brakes EWS119 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Brake wear warning light staying on after pad replacement
• Incorrect or delayed brake pad wear readings
• Damaged rear sensor wiring from brake service or road debris
• Loss of electronic pad monitoring on Sprinter rear brakes
• Need for an OEM-style rear brake wear sensor replacement

Installation Notes and Tips

Install the sensor at the rear brake position and route the harness to avoid contact with moving suspension or hot brake components. Verify connector shape, terminal style, and harness length before installation. Replace worn or damaged sensors during brake pad service so the monitoring system can reset and operate correctly.

Quality Assurance

PowerStop designs this brake wear sensor to meet or exceed OEM requirements for form, fit, and function. It is built to withstand extreme temperatures and maintain conductivity over extended service life.
