Product Details

PowerStop Euro-Stop brake wear sensors are made for drivers who replace brake pads and rotors and want the wear sensor renewed at the same time. SW-1453 follows the original equipment layout for front axle BMW applications, helping preserve proper brake warning function on vehicles equipped with electronic pad wear monitoring. This part number, SW-1453, is listed for 2020-2021 BMW X5 and X6 front applications, plus 2022-2026 BMW X5, X6, and XM front applications.

The PowerStop Front Euro-Stop Electronic Brake Wear Sensor line is focused on direct-fit replacement parts for European brake systems. For BMW X5, BMW X6, and BMW XM models, the sensor is engineered to support the same basic connection style and routing used by the factory setup.

What It Helps Address

• Brake warning light triggered by a worn pad sensor
• Damaged or brittle front wear sensor wiring
• Fault codes related to pad wear monitoring
• Loss of brake wear indicator continuity after pad service
• Sensor replacement needed during front brake maintenance

Installation Notes

Install on the front axle only for the listed BMW applications. Verify connector shape, terminal style, and harness routing before installation. Replace the sensor when servicing brake pads if the original sensor is worn, broken, or has triggered the wear indicator. Confirm vehicle fitment by year, make, model, and position before ordering.

Quality Assurance

PowerStop designs its brake wear sensors to meet or exceed OEM requirements and to maintain conductivity under extreme temperature conditions. The SW-1453 is built for long-term operation in brake environments where heat and vibration are common.
