Brake Pad Wear Sensor - Front The electronic brake pad wear sensor for the front axle, part of the braking system's pad-wear warning circuit. It locates in the front brake caliper alongside the pads.

The sensor carries a wire loop set near the friction surface of the pad. As the pad wears down to its service limit, contact with the brake disc breaks the loop, signalling the instrument cluster to display the brake pad wear warning so the pads are replaced before the friction material is exhausted.

Frequently asked questions

What is the LR045959 front brake pad wear sensor and what does it do?
The LR045959 is the electronic brake pad wear sensor for the front axle. It locates in the front brake caliper alongside the pads and carries a wire loop near the friction surface. As the pad wears to its limit, contact with the disc breaks the loop and triggers the brake pad wear warning in the instrument cluster.
Which Land Rover models does this front wear sensor fit?
This front brake pad wear sensor fits the Discovery 5 (2017+), Range Rover L405 (2013-2022) and Range Rover Sport L494 (2014-2022). Confirm against your VIN where variant or brake-spec differences apply.
How many front brake pad wear sensors are needed?
Typically one wear sensor is fitted to the front axle on these models, usually on a single caliper rather than both sides. Check your existing setup before ordering, as the sensor is normally renewed whenever the front pads are replaced.
Can the front wear sensor be reused when changing pads?
No, the front wear sensor shouldn't be reused once it has triggered. The loop is destroyed when the pad reaches its wear limit and the sensor contacts the disc. Fit a new sensor with the front pads so the wear warning works correctly afterwards.
