Wabco 8945900282 Cable with Socket

Description

This Cable with Socket is a crucial component within the ABS Controller system, functioning as a vital connection point for brake controls. It is designed for use in heavy-duty vehicle braking systems. This Wabco part, with MPN 8945900282, meets OE specifications, ensuring reliable performance and compatibility. The cable features a Bayonet socket (Schlemmer) 3-pin on one end and an Open 2-Strand 2 x 1.5 mm² connection on the other. Its dimensions are 38 x 342 x 365 mm, providing a robust and space-efficient solution for critical braking system connections.

Key Features & Benefits

This cable's job is pretty straightforward – it connects the ABS controller, which is the brain of your anti – lock braking system, to one of the wheel speed sensors. Each wheel has a sensor, and this cable is how that sensor reports back to the controller how fast the wheel is spinning. It’s a simple electrical connection, sending a signal. Think of your ABS system as a safety net. It stops your wheels from locking up when you brake hard, which lets you keep steering and avoid a skid. This cable is a crucial part of that system. Without a good connection here, the controller doesn’t know what the wheel is doing. It’s a vital communication line.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If this cable fails – it can corrode, the wire can break inside, or the connector can get damaged – the ABS system won’t work right. Usually, you'll get an ABS warning light on your dashboard. More importantly, your anti – lock brakes might not engage when you need them. You’ll notice if it’s bad – maybe the light comes on, or perhaps the ABS doesn’t kick in during a hard braking situation. It's a safety item, so it’s best to get it sorted quickly. You can often find these cables at places like Fixparts Online, and they’re not too difficult to replace if you’re comfortable with a little DIY. Product information is provided for reference only.
