Wabco 4497280400 Connector Cable

Description

This Wabco connector cable, MPN 4497280400, is an essential component within the ABS controller system of braking systems. It facilitates signal transmission between sensors and the ABS control module, ensuring proper functionality of the anti-lock braking system. Measuring 17 x 22 x 446 mm, this cable features a 3-pin sensor plug on one end and an open 2-strand connection on the other. This cable is manufactured to OE specification, delivering reliable performance and a precise fit for seamless integration with existing braking systems.

Key Features & Benefits

This cable is pretty straightforward. It’s essentially the wiring harness that plugs into the ABS controller module itself. It carries all the signals – power, ground, and data – between the ABS module and the rest of the brake system. Think of it like the nerves that tell the module what's happening at the wheels and allow it to control things. It's a multi – pin connector, meaning it has a lot of little wires inside, each handling a specific job. It's part of your anti – lock braking system, obviously. The ABS module uses signals from wheel speed sensors, and this cable is how it gets those signals. It also sends commands through the cable to the hydraulic control unit – that’s the thing that actually activates the ABS when it needs to. Without a good connection here, the whole system can’t communicate properly. It's really the link that makes everything work as one.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It might seem like a small thing, but this connector cable is crucial. If it gets damaged – maybe a wire breaks inside, it corrodes, or a pin gets bent – the ABS light will likely come on. Even worse, the ABS system might not function correctly when you really need it. You’ll notice if it's gone bad usually during wet or slippery conditions, or if the ABS light stays illuminated. A faulty connection can cause intermittent problems, or a complete failure. You can find replacement cables online at places like Fixparts Online, and it’s usually a fairly straightforward repair if you’re comfortable with basic wiring. It's cheap insurance to keep this part in good shape, frankly, compared to the cost of needing your ABS to work and it failing.
