This little guy actually does a pretty simple thing – it monitors how fast each wheel is spinning. It sends that information to the car's computer, which is what actually controls the anti – lock braking system. It's an electronic pulse generator, basically. It’s constantly checking to see if a wheel is slowing down unexpectedly. It's a key part of your anti – lock braking system, which is designed to prevent your wheels from locking up when you brake hard. That lets you maintain steering control while stopping, which is a big safety feature. It works alongside other components like the ABS control module and the brake lines to make the whole system function. Well, if this sensor goes bad, your ABS light will almost certainly come on. More importantly, your ABS system won’t work properly – or at all. You’ll notice if it’s really bad because your car might pull to one side when you brake, or you might not be able to stop as quickly. It acts like a shield against skidding, and when it’s not working, you lose that protection. We carry these pretty regularly; you can often find a good one at Fixparts Online, but we have them in stock too of course. It's one of those things that’s easy to put off, but it’s a really important safety item. Customer support you can rely on: ABS Sensor (MPN 8R0809697F) has a 12-month warranty!
