• Designed to meet OEM form, fit, and function requirements
• Built for high-temperature resistance and consistent electrode conductivity
• Black connector with oval shape, female connector, and blade terminals
• 2-wire design with 1 connector, 2 terminals, and 1 grommet included in the design
• Wiring harness length: 11.61 in. / 295.00 mm

Detailed Description

PowerStop SW-1709 is a front Euro-Stop electronic brake wear sensor engineered for vehicles that rely on a pad wear warning system. It is a direct-fit replacement for the original sensor layout and is intended to restore proper brake wear monitoring after pad service. This part cross-references 80A 615 121 A and 211439 for the same application.

Compatible With 2022-2025 Audi Q5, front; 2023-2025 Audi Q5 Sportback, front; 2021-2022 Audi Q5 Sportback, front; 2020-2021 Audi Q5, front; and 2018-2019 Audi Q5, front with 338mm rotor diameter and Brembo brakes. If you are servicing an Audi Q5 or Audi Q5 Sportback and need a front brake wear sensor replacement, SW-1709 is built for that application.

What It Helps Address

• Brake wear warning light triggered by a worn sensor
• Damaged sensor wiring during brake pad replacement
• Incorrect wear signal after front brake service
• Loss of continuity in the brake pad monitoring circuit
• Sensor replacement needed when renewing pads and rotors

Installation Notes and Tips

Replace the front wear sensor during brake service whenever the original sensor is worn, damaged, or has triggered a warning. Confirm the vehicle application, front position, and brake package before installation, especially on 2018-2019 Audi Q5 models with 338mm rotors and Brembo brakes. Route the harness carefully to avoid contact with moving or hot brake components.

Quality Assurance

PowerStop designs Euro-Stop brake wear sensors to meet or exceed OEM requirements and to withstand extreme temperatures for dependable conductivity over extended use. SW-1709 is built as a direct replacement for the original front brake wear sensor used on select Audi Q5 and Audi Q5 Sportback applications.
