Wabco 4494291300 Solenoid Valve Cable

Description

The Wabco 4494291300 Solenoid Valve Cable is a critical component within air brake systems, specifically EBS (Electronic Braking Systems) cables. It's designed to facilitate communication between the solenoid valve and the EBS control unit, ensuring proper activation and deactivation of the air brakes. This cable features cable ends with 2x bajonet socket ISO 15170-B1-3.1-Sn/K1, 1x bajonet socket ISO 15170-B1-2.1-Sn/K1 and a Code B 8-pin connection. The dimensions of this cable are 53 x 377 x 461 mm. Its OE specification guarantees compatibility and reliable performance, contributing to the overall safety and efficiency of the braking system.

Key Features & Benefits

This cable’s job is pretty straightforward. It sends an electrical signal from the EBS (Electronic Braking System) control module to the solenoid valves. Those valves then control the flow of compressed air to the brake chambers – basically telling your brakes when to apply and release. It's a simple wire, but it carries vital information. Think of it as a messenger. The EBS is the brain, deciding how much braking force is needed. This cable is the nerve that sends that instruction down to the muscles – the air valves – to actually do the braking. It’s part of the whole air brake system, which is how a lot of heavier vehicles stop. It connects the electronics to the pneumatics, so to speak.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

This is a safety item, plain and simple. If this cable fails – it gets frayed, a connector breaks, whatever – that solenoid valve won’t get the signal it needs. That can mean reduced braking power, uneven braking, or even a complete brake failure on that particular axle. You’ll notice if one fails because you'll likely get a warning light on your dash, and you might feel a pull to one side when you brake, or just a generally spongy brake pedal. It's not something you want to ignore. We carry a good selection of these, and you can find them online at Fixparts Online if you’re looking to compare options. It's a relatively inexpensive part to replace compared to the cost of a repair if you end up with brake problems.
