Brake wear sensor

[Fixiebob]

Hi

Just about to change front discs and pads on my 2007 E220 estate and I've noticed there is only cabling on drivers side for brake wear indicator, is this normal as Haynes manual seems to indicate they should be on both sides.

Thanks in advance
Rob

There's only 1 wear sensor per axle.

If you had an earlier w211 you would have sbc braking system, and therefore have a 50% wear sensor on the passenger side, you will just have the one.

Thanks, pretty sure it's not SBC

My Viano has a single brake wear sensor on each corner on the outboard pad.
