What is the function of a brake pad wear indicator?

The brake pad wear indicator is designed to alert the on-board computer in a vehicle that the brake pads are low and need replacement. This is an important safety feature in a car. Without the brake pad wear indicator component, the driver would only be alerted that his brake pads are low through having the bakes physically checked or through noise coming from the wheel hub. The metal-on-metal scraping noise from the brakes is an indication that the brake pads should have been replaced long before they got so worn.

Why replace the brake pad wear indicator?

If the brake pad wear indicator is damaged in any way, it should be replaced immediately to ensure the safety of the car and alert the driver as to when the brake pads need to be changed.
