Wabco 4497390220 BV Sensor Cable with Coupling

Description

The Wabco BV sensor cable with coupling is a critical component within the ABS controller system, facilitating communication between the ABS controller and wheel speed sensors. This cable is used in braking systems to ensure accurate and reliable speed data for effective anti-lock braking. Manufactured to OE specification, this cable provides a direct replacement for maintaining optimal braking performance and system integrity. It measures 27 x 309 x 325 mm and has a MPN of 4497390220.

Key Features & Benefits

This cable’s job is pretty simple, really. It transmits the signal from one of your wheel speed sensors – usually a rear one – back to the ABS controller. That sensor measures how fast each wheel is spinning, and this cable is the wire that carries that information. The coupling is just the connector bit that plugs into both the sensor and the controller; it keeps everything secure and weatherproof. Think of your ABS system as a safety net. It prevents your wheels from locking up when you brake hard, which helps you steer and stop safely. This cable is a vital piece of that system. The ABS controller needs accurate speed data from all the wheels to figure out if one is about to lock up, and this cable provides the info from that specific wheel. It's part of a network of sensors and cables all working together.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Without a good signal from this sensor, your ABS light will almost certainly come on, and the ABS system might not function correctly—or at all. You’ll notice if this cable is bad usually because of that light, but also sometimes you'll experience longer stopping distances, particularly in slippery conditions. It's not something you want to ignore. A damaged cable can cause intermittent problems, or a complete failure. You can find these pretty easily; places like Fixparts Online carry them, and it’s usually a straightforward repair if you're comfortable working on cars. Replacing a bad cable gets your ABS system back to working as it should, keeping you and your passengers safer.
