Detailed Description

Use the PowerStop SW-1205 when replacing a worn front brake pad wear sensor on compatible Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, Cadillac Escalade, Cadillac Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon, GMC Yukon XL, and GMC Hummer EV Pickup models. This sensor supports the brake wear monitoring system used on select 2019-2026 vehicles, including 2024-2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 front applications with J61 Brake Code, as well as 2023-2025 Cadillac Escalade and Chevrolet Tahoe front applications with J61 Brake Code.

As part of PowerStop’s Euro-Stop Electronic Brake Wear Sensor line, the SW-1205 is intended to restore proper wear-sensor operation after pad service. It is designed to meet or exceed OEM requirements and to continue functioning after extended mileage under demanding brake temperatures.

What It Helps Solve

• Brake wear warning light triggered by a failed front sensor
• Damaged or brittle sensor wiring during brake pad replacement
• Loss of brake pad wear monitoring after rotor and pad service
• Incorrect sensor fitment on J61-equipped front brake systems
• Intermittent wear-sensor readings caused by heat and age

Installation Notes and Tips

Replace the front wear sensor during brake pad service whenever the original sensor is worn, damaged, or removed from the pad assembly. Confirm the vehicle’s brake code and front position before ordering, since fitment varies by year, model, and J61 brake package. The SW-1205 uses a female connector, oval connector shape, and blade terminals, so verify the connector style against the original part before installation.
