Brake pad sensors

[old schooler]

Hello,

I have a 2020 JLUR 3.6L non etorque.
Just want to ask if my jeep or JLUR in general have low brake pad sensor.

Thank you.

The pads have a metal tab which will contact the rotor when the pads wear enough. You will hear a squealing noise when you apply the brakes. Of course, if you have noisy brakes when the pads are still thick, you may not realize it when they get low. From my experience, the low brake pad squealing is different than the "noisy brakes" as it will be consistent during the time you are pressing on the brake pedal.

There's no electrical sensor which sends an electronic signal, such as on Audi's.

Here's a pic of the wear bar on an aftermarket pad, stock pads are similar. Of note, these wear bars are of a metal softer (aluminum??)than the rotors so they won't gouge them. But I wouldn't let them drag on the rotor too long. Once the pad's rivets are exposed, the rotors will get gouges in them.

Thanks for the reply.
I havent really checked yet but my less than 1 year JLUR makes a squeeking sound intermitently during about the first 10 mins of driving. Afterwards, it goes away. Weird..

Thats a really good pic. Thank you!
