34 35 001 Replacing a brake pad sensor (front)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 MINI Cooper Paceman, 2015 MINI Cooper Paceman, 2014 MINI Cooper Paceman, and 2013 MINI Cooper. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Necessary preliminary work:
- Remove WHEEL
IMPORTANT:
The brake pad wear sensor must be replaced once it has been removed (brake pad wear sensor loses its retention capability in the brake pad).
If a brake pad sensor that has already been ground has to be replaced even though the minimum brake pad thickness has not yet been reached, you must observe the following: The new sliding contact must be filed down with a file to the same length as the ground sliding contact.
Press clamp (1) together and detach brake pad sensor (2) in direction of arrow from brake pad.
Unclip brake pad sensor (2) from holder (3).
Installation note:
Make sure clamp (1) and brake pad sensor (2) are correctly seated in brake pad.
Disconnect plug connection (1).
Installation note:
Make sure plug connection engages correctly.
