Description
xGenuine Porsche Brake Pad Wear Sensor 355251901
The Porsche Brake Pad Wear Sensor 355251901 is designed for compatible Porsche 911 braking systems to monitor front brake pad wear and help provide a warning when the brake pads reach their specified wear threshold.
Part number 355251901 is strongly documented for selected Porsche 911 (997) applications and is installed on the front axle.
Associated Porsche OE references include 99761276900 and 99761276901. The sensor connects to the vehicle's brake pad wear monitoring circuit and should be inspected whenever the front brake system is serviced.
Exact compatibility depends on the Porsche 911 variant, production date and brake configuration. VIN verification is recommended before ordering.

Why Choose Porsche Brake Pad Wear Sensor 355251901?
Front Brake Pad Wear Monitoring
The sensor forms part of the vehicle's front brake pad wear monitoring system. When the applicable brake pad reaches its wear threshold, the sensor helps the vehicle provide a brake wear warning so that the braking system can be inspected and serviced.
Porsche 911 997 Application
Strong catalogue evidence identifies 355251901 for selected Porsche 911 (997) applications, with the strongest fitment concentrated on later 997.2-generation vehicles.
Front Axle Application
Part number 355251901 is specifically documented for front-axle installation. The corresponding rear brake wear sensor uses a different reference.
Porsche OE Cross-References
Important Porsche OE references associated with this sensor include 99761276900 and 99761276901, also formatted as 997 612 769 00 and 997 612 769 01. Always compare the existing sensor number and VIN before ordering.
Important Fitment Information
The 997 generation uses multiple brake wear sensor references. Fitment depends on model variant, production date, front/rear position, brake system and factory brake package. Do not automatically apply 355251901 to Boxster, Cayman, Cayenne or Panamera models.
Brake Service Inspection
During front brake service, inspect the brake pads, brake discs, brake wear sensors, sensor wiring, electrical connectors, brake calipers and related brake hardware. A brake warning can result from worn brake pads or an issue involving the sensor, wiring, connector or monitoring circuit.
