Structure and inner electrical connection

2-stage brake pad wear sensor:  The brake pad wear sensor operates in 2 stages. A resistor is additionally integrated in the 2nd stage. The DSC detects the 2nd stage via the changed voltage measurement.

1-stage brake pad wear sensor:  When the conductor path is worn through, approx. 5 % of the remaining brake pad thickness is reached.
