Product Details

The PowerStop Front Euro-Stop Electronic Brake Wear Sensor is intended for drivers replacing worn brake pad sensors during brake service. It helps maintain the factory warning system on BMW applications by providing a direct-fit replacement that follows the original sensor layout. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. Use SW-0498 when servicing front brakes on BMW 230i, 330i, 430i, M240i, M340i, M440i, i4, M2, M3, and M4 applications listed below.

What It Helps Address

• Brake wear warning light staying on after pad replacement
• Damaged or brittle front brake pad wear sensor wiring
• Faulty sensor readings from heat or age-related wear
• Loss of brake pad wear monitoring after brake service
• Need for an OE-style replacement sensor on BMW front brakes

Installation Notes

Install SW-0498 on the front axle only for the listed BMW applications. Inspect the sensor routing, connector condition, and grommet locations before installation. Replace the sensor when brake pads are serviced if the original sensor shows wear, damage, or warning-system faults. Confirm connector shape, terminal style, and harness length against the vehicle’s original part before final assembly.

Quality Assurance

PowerStop designs Euro-Stop brake wear sensors to match original equipment requirements and to withstand elevated brake temperatures for dependable conductivity over extended use. The SW-0498 is engineered as a direct replacement for front BMW brake wear monitoring systems and is backed by PowerStop’s OE-focused product standards.
