Wabco 4494151800 DIN Cable with Socket

Description

This cable with socket is designed for use within ABS controller systems, specifically connecting to brake controls. Manufactured by Wabco with MPN 4494151800, this OE specification cable features a Bayonet socket DIN 72585- B1-2.1-Sn/K1 4-pin on one end and open 2-Strand push-on contacts of 2 x 1.5 mm² on the other. Measuring 55 x 344 x 379 mm, this cable ensures a reliable and robust connection within the ABS system, contributing to enhanced braking performance and safety.

Key Features & Benefits

This cable basically handles the electrical connection for your ABS controller. It’s how the module talks to the wheel speed sensors and the hydraulic unit. It carries the signals – data about how fast each wheel is spinning – back and forth. It's a fairly simple part, really, just a connection point, but a vital one. Think of your ABS system as having a ‘brain’ – that’s the ABS controller. The wheel speed sensors are its ‘eyes,’ telling it how fast each wheel is moving. This DIN cable is like the optic nerve connecting those eyes to the brain. Without that connection, the brain doesn’t get the information it needs to properly control the brakes during hard stops or slippery conditions. It’s part of the circuit that enables the ABS to prevent wheel lockup.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, if this cable fails, your ABS light will almost certainly come on. The system might still work for a bit, but it won't be reliable. You’ll notice if your ABS is malfunctioning usually when you brake hard – maybe you'll feel pulsing, or the car may just want to slide. More importantly, a failing ABS system reduces your stopping power and increases your risk of an accident. It’s a relatively inexpensive part to replace, and it's far better to address it now than to gamble with your safety. You can find these pretty easily – sites like Fixparts Online usually have them in stock. Replacing it restores that critical communication within the ABS system and gets you back to safe, reliable braking.
