Dynamic Friction Company Disc Brake Pad Wear Sensor P/N:341-31041
Keep your brake warning light working the way it should with the Dynamic Friction Company Disc Brake Pad Wear Sensor (MPN 341-32004). It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2011-2015 MINI Cooper, mounting at the rear brakes to monitor pad thickness on that axle.
A brake pad wear sensor is a small electrical sensor routed into the brake pad. As the friction material wears down, the sensor circuit is exposed and completes (or breaks) to signal the vehicle, illuminating the brake pad wear indicator on the dash so you know it is time to inspect the pads.
If a worn, damaged, or triggered wear sensor is the cause of your brake pad warning light, this replaces it. Because the sensor is typically renewed with the brake pads, inspect the pad thickness and follow the vehicle service procedure when installing.
Interchange: Manufacturer part number 341-32004 (also 34132004).
What does this part do?
It is a rear disc brake pad wear sensor that monitors pad thickness and signals the vehicle to illuminate the brake pad wear warning light when the friction material reaches its wear point.
Which vehicles does it fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2011-2015 MINI Cooper. Confirm fitment for your vehicle in the Buyer's Guide tab.
Is this for the front or rear brakes?
The catalog lists this as a rear wear sensor, so it is intended for the rear brakes on the listed MINI Cooper applications.
Why is my brake pad warning light on?
A brake pad warning light can be caused by worn pads or a triggered/damaged wear sensor. Inspect the pad thickness to diagnose the cause; if the sensor is at fault, this replaces it.
Should I replace it when I do the brake pads?
Wear sensors are typically renewed along with the brake pads. Inspect pad thickness and follow the vehicle service procedure when installing this sensor.
