missing Left rear pad wear sensor

TX · 12-11-2016, 04:42 PM

I was under the car doing a brake flush last night and noticed the left rear is totally missing a pad wear sensor. Also the rubber boot cover which holds the sensor wire on the brake bleeder is ripped off. I'm guessing some kind of road debris took the sensor or do these cars not include one there

Wouldn't this throw an alarm with the sensor gone? I'll have to go back and dig around to see if the connector is even there.

makes sense, i was just digging around realoem and see they list a quantity of 1 for the rear sensor. I believe you are correct.
