Wabco 4497231500 Sensor Cable

Description

This Wabco Sensor Cable (MPN: 4497231500) is a critical component within air brake systems, specifically designed for EBS (Electronic Braking System) applications. It facilitates the transmission of signals between sensors and the EBS control unit, ensuring accurate and reliable brake performance. This cable features a 2-pin sensor plug on one end and a Code A 4-pin connector on the other. Its dimensions are 45 x 334 x 359 mm. Manufactured to OE specification, this cable delivers exceptional durability and signal integrity, contributing to enhanced braking efficiency and overall vehicle safety.

Key Features & Benefits

This cable's job is pretty straightforward – it carries signals from the wheel speed sensors up to the Electronic Braking System control module. Basically, each wheel has a sensor that checks how fast it’s turning. This cable is the wire that tells the computer what those sensors are reporting. It's a multi – wire cable usually, carrying power, ground, and the actual sensor data. It's a key piece of your air brake system. That EBS module uses the info from these sensors to do a bunch of things – ABS, traction control, stability control… all that stuff that helps keep you safe and in control. It's part of a closed – loop system; the computer is constantly checking wheel speeds and adjusting braking pressure to each wheel individually. Think of it as the nerves sending information to the brain.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, if this cable fails – and they can do that with age, corrosion, or just from the vibrations of driving – the computer isn't getting accurate information. You’ll notice if it's a complete failure right away – likely an ABS light on the dash, maybe even a loss of some braking functions. Sometimes it’s a bit more subtle; intermittent problems, unpredictable braking. It acts like a shield protecting the data, and if it’s damaged, the data gets messed up. It’s not something you want to mess around with, it’s a safety thing. You can usually find replacements pretty easily – we often have them in stock, or Fixparts Online is a good place to check if you prefer to do the work yourself.
