Brake pad wear sensor – Porsche 911 1984–89 99361296502 by OE Match for selected Porsche 911 & 912 (1965–1989) models, including 911 3.2L and 911 3.2L G50 applications. Supplied information notes front fitment with the new pin type, and the part is listed as each wire sensor.
What This Product Does A brake pad wear sensor monitors pad wear and works with the vehicle warning system to indicate when brake pad replacement may be required. OE Match parts are listed for Porsche applications where the supplied model coverage and OE reference can be used to confirm suitability.
Functions
- Monitors brake pad wear at the fitted position.
- Supports the brake wear warning circuit.
- Helps identify worn pads before further brake service work is planned.
- Can be renewed during pad replacement or brake overhaul work.
- Matches the supplied OE reference 99361296502.
Symptoms of Fault
- Brake wear warning message or light remains on after pad replacement.
- Damaged or broken sensor cable near the caliper area.
- Broken clips or poor location around the brake assembly.
- Warning light faults caused by a worn or damaged sensor.
- Brake warning indications linked to incorrect application or mismatched parts.
Why Replacement Matters
Brake pad wear sensors are commonly replaced when pads are renewed, or when the warning system indicates a broken, worn or damaged sensor. Replacing the correct sensor supports accurate brake wear indication and helps avoid repeat work caused by damaged wiring or incorrect fitment.
Fits

FAQs
- Should it be replaced with brake pads? Wear sensors are commonly renewed when brake pads are changed, especially if the existing sensor is damaged or has triggered a warning.
- Is it plug-and-play with OE wiring? The supplied information describes this as an OE Match replacement for the listed Porsche reference; confirm connector type and model-year notes before ordering.
- How should compatibility be checked? Cross-check OE number 99361296502, model year, fitted position and connector details for the vehicle.
Check fitment for your specific vehicle (model, year, engine) before ordering.

These OE direct-fit brake wear sensor integrates seamlessly with your Porsche's electronic braking system, ensuring accurate wear monitoring and helping prevent unnecessary brake disc damage caused by excessively worn brake pads.
What Does the Brake Pad Wear Sensor Do?
The brake pad wear sensor is an important safety component that monitors the thickness of the front brake pads. As the friction material wears down, the sensor eventually contacts the brake disc, completing an electrical circuit that activates the brake wear warning light on the dashboard.
Its primary functions include:
- Monitoring front brake pad wear.
- Activating the dashboard brake warning light.
- Preventing excessive brake pad wear.
- Helping protect the brake discs from damage.
- Supporting scheduled brake maintenance.
- Improving overall braking safety.
The sensor provides an early warning, allowing brake pads to be replaced before braking performance is compromised.
Why Do Brake Pad Wear Sensors Fail?
Brake wear sensors are consumable components and are
designed to be replaced during brake servicing. Common reasons for failure
include:
- Normal activation once the brake pads reach their wear limit.
- Heat generated by the braking system.
- Damage during brake pad removal.
- Road debris and moisture.
- Corrosion of the electrical contacts.
- Wiring damage caused by age or movement.
- General wear after years of service.
Once activated, the sensor cannot normally be reused and should always be replaced with new brake pads.
When Should the Brake Pad Wear Sensor Be Replaced?
Replacement is recommended whenever:
- The brake wear warning light is illuminated.
- New front brake pads are installed.
- The sensor has contacted the brake disc.
- The wiring has become damaged.
- Corrosion affects the electrical connector.
- During routine brake servicing.
- As part of a complete front brake overhaul.
Replacing the sensor at the same time as the brake pads ensures accurate future wear monitoring and avoids unnecessary labour costs.

This genuine Porsche brake pad wear sensor signals the brake system when the front brake pads are approaching their wear limits and need replacement.
Originally numbered 99160918180, this part now carries the updated Porsche reference 9GT907637 but remains identical in fit, function, and OE authenticity. It integrates with the vehicle’s ABS and braking system electronics to provide timely alerts and support safe operation.
The wear sensor continuously monitors brake pad thickness and electrical continuity. When the pad material reaches a specified minimum level, the sensor triggers a warning in the driver information system to indicate that pad replacement is due - helping you avoid excessive wear or potential damage to discs.
Function:
• Detects brake pad wear on the front axle
• Sends timely alerts to the vehicle’s onboard diagnostic system
• Helps prevent brake pad and disc damage due to overdue replacement
• Genuine OE Porsche design ensures perfect electrical integration
• Factory-tested for consistent performance and longevity.
Brake pads naturally wear over time, and monitoring their condition is critical for safe, reliable braking performance. A worn or missing wear sensor can lead to pad wear going undetected, increasing the risk of rotor damage and compromised stopping power. Replacing the wear sensor with a genuine Porsche OE part ensures accurate detection and maintains compliance with factory safety systems.
When to replace:
• Brake wear warning light activates on the dashboard
• After installing new brake pads If the sensor is damaged or broken
• During front brake servicing or rotor replacement
• When replacing brake calipers with integrated sensors
