The method of replacing a brake pad or brake jaw installed in a braking system of a vehicle, wherein the brake pad or brake jaw installed comprises a friction material block and a metal back plate (100) of the friction material block (300), comprises the following operations:—obtain technical specifications of the installed brake pad or brake jaw including at least the shape and size of the installed metal back plate;—reproduce a metal back plate (100) with the acquired technical specifications of shape and size and fit it with a fingerprint (110);—assembling a smart brake pad or brake jaw (400) by means of fixing in said fingerprint (110) of a board (200) with a printed circuit board presenting at least one force sensor (201) and/or one temperature sensor and a connector (210) and applying a block of friction material (300) to the reproduced metal back plate (100);—providing a replacement kit (1) comprising said smart brake pad or brake jaw (400), an electronic module (240) comprising a processing unit and a transmitter for transmitting and processing information received from said at least one force sensor (201) and/or temperature sensor, a physical interface (410) for mechanical and electrical connection between said electronic module (240) and connector (210), a software application (420) installable in a mobile electronic device configured to interact with said electronic module (240).
A method for replacing a brake pad or a brake jaw installed in a braking system of a vehicle, in which the brake pad or brake jaw installed comprises a block of friction material and a metal back plate of the block of friction material, the method comprising:
A replacement kit for replacing a brake pad or a brake jaw installed in a braking system of a vehicle, wherein the brake pad or brake jaw installed comprises a block of friction material and a metal back plate of the block of friction material, the replacement kit comprising:
An installation kit for installing a smart brake pad or brake jaw in a braking system of a new vehicle, in which the smart brake pad or brake jaw comprises a block of friction material, a metal back plate of the block of friction material, and a board with a printed circuit having at least one force sensor and/or a temperature sensor and a connector;
