Wabco 4497120180 Sensor Cable 1.8m

Description

This 1.80m Sensor Cable by Wabco is designed for use within Air Brake Systems, specifically EBS Cables and ABS applications. It features a 2-pin sensor plug on one end and a 2-pin sensor socket on the other, providing a reliable connection for sensors. This cable is manufactured to OE specification, ensuring compatibility and performance. Its dimensions are 22 x 324 x 410 mm, providing a robust and appropriately sized solution for demanding environments.

Key Features & Benefits

This cable’s job is pretty straightforward – it transmits electronic signals from the wheel speed sensors up to the ABS or EBS control module. Essentially, each wheel has a sensor that’s constantly monitoring how fast it’s spinning, and this cable is the wire that carries that information. It handles data for things like anti – lock braking, stability control, and sometimes even traction control. It's a multi – wire cable, so it carries several signals, not just one. Think of it as part of the nervous system for your braking. The wheel speed sensors are like the nerves in your feet telling your brain how fast you’re going, and this cable is the spinal cord carrying that info. The control module then uses that data to decide when and how to apply the brakes, preventing wheel lockup and helping you maintain control, especially in slippery conditions. It’s a crucial link in getting accurate braking performance.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Without a working sensor cable, that communication breaks down. You’ll notice if it’s failing because your ABS light will probably come on. Sometimes the braking system might even enter a limited functionality mode. It acts like a shield, protecting the system from incorrect data that could lead to unsafe braking. These cables can get damaged from road debris, salt, or just general wear and tear, especially with repeated flexing. You can find these sensor cables, including this 1.8 meter length, over at Fixparts Online if you need a replacement. It's a relatively inexpensive part that can prevent much bigger problems, so it’s good to address it if you suspect it’s going bad.
