BMW i3 Front Brake Pad Wear Sensor

Standard Ignition PWS284 is a front disc brake pad wear sensor for select BMW i3 models. It monitors brake pad condition at the caliper and supports timely service when pad wear reaches the sensor threshold.

Key Features

  • Brake pad wear sensor for front brake applications
  • Mounts at the brake caliper
  • Female connector with oval shape
  • 25-inch harness length for routing to the factory connection point
  • Male pin terminals with 2-terminal design
  • Direct-fit application for 2014-2016 BMW i3, front

Detailed Description

Standard Ignition PWS284 is built for vehicles that use an electronic brake pad wear monitoring system. This front brake pad wear sensor is positioned at the brake caliper and uses an oval female connector with a 25-inch harness to match the routing needs of the original setup. For BMW i3 owners, PWS284 provides the correct fitment for 2014-2016 BMW i3, front service applications. This part cross-references BMW 34356799329 and WS484 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Brake pad wear warning light on the dash
  • Broken or damaged pad wear sensor wiring
  • Incorrect brake wear signal after pad service
  • Loss of brake pad monitoring at the front axle
  • Sensor replacement during brake pad maintenance on a BMW i3

Installation Notes and Tips

Install PWS284 at the front brake caliper and route the harness to match the original path before connecting the oval female plug. Inspect the connector, terminals, and nearby wiring for heat damage or abrasion during brake service. Confirm the vehicle is a 2014-2016 BMW i3, front application before installation.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition brake sensors are built to meet the needs of OE-style replacement service and are selected for proper connector style, terminal layout, and fitment consistency.
