Abstract
A brake pad wear sensing system for measuring brake pad wear for a vehicle disc brake system includes an RF communication circuit for transmitting an RF signal including brake pad wear data. The system also includes a vehicle-based receiver including an RF communication circuit for receiving the brake pad wear data in the RF signal transmitted by the wear sensor. The vehicle-based receiver is operatively connected to a vehicle-based main controller. The vehicle-based receiver transmits the brake pad wear data to the main controller.
