Wabco 4802049232 Pressure Sensor Kit

Description

This kit contains a pressure sensor used in air brake systems, specifically for trailer brake controls. It is a repair kit designed to restore the functionality of the air brake system. Manufactured by Wabco with MPN 4802049232, this sensor helps maintain optimal braking performance and safety. It measures 75 x 65 x 95 mm and adheres to OE specifications, ensuring a reliable and precise operation within the air brake system. This results in enhanced system responsiveness and a longer service life.

Key Features & Benefits

This kit basically monitors the air pressure in your trailer’s braking system. It's got the sensor itself, which reads that pressure, and usually some wiring and connectors to get that info back to the control module. Some kits include a mounting bracket and maybe even a short length of air line if yours needs it. It’s all about making sure the system knows how much air is available to stop the trailer. Think of it like this: the sensor is the system's eyes, telling the control module if everything is working as it should. The control module then uses that information to apply the trailer brakes properly. It's part of what keeps your trailer from pushing you around. It works with the rest of the air brake system - the compressor, the lines, the valves – all working together to give you reliable stopping power. It's usually located somewhere along the air line running to the trailer.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

This is a safety item, plain and simple. If the sensor fails, the control module can't accurately manage the trailer brakes. You might end up with weak braking, or even no braking at all on one or more axles. You’ll notice if it's going bad because you might get a warning light on your dash, or the trailer brakes might feel spongy or uneven. A failing sensor acts like a shield with holes in it – it isn’t protecting you like it should. You can find these kits pretty easily, places like Fixparts Online have a good selection. Getting this sorted out promptly is much better than risking a problem on the road.
