Wabco 4498130500 Sensor Cable

Description

This Wabco Sensor Cable (MPN 4498130500) is a critical component within air brake systems, specifically designed for EBS (Electronically Controlled Braking Systems) applications. It's used in trailers with function traction help / forced lower lifting axle functionality. This cable features an open 2-strand connection on the left side with 2 x 0.75 mm² conductors, and a Code B 4-pin connection on the right side. Measuring 38 x 324 x 353 mm, this OE specification cable ensures reliable signal transmission and contributes to the overall safety and efficiency of the braking system by maintaining consistent communication between sensors and the control unit.

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.
