BMW X5: Replacing A Brake Pad Sensor (Front)

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).

Necessary preliminary tasks:

Disengage cable guides (2).

Open cover (1) on plug housing.

Disconnect plug connection.
