Wabco 4495230900 Cable with Socket Left 9M

Description

This is a 9-meter cable with socket, designed for use with solenoid valves and as part of an ABS controller system. Manufactured by Wabco with MPN 4495230900, this cable features a Kostal socket (left) M 24 x 1 3-pin on one end and an open 3-strand connection with push-on contacts (3 x 1.5 mm²) on the other. Its dimensions are 48 x 352 x 384 mm. This cable is built to OE specification, ensuring reliable performance and compatibility within the braking system, and delivers a robust connection for critical ABS components.

Key Features & Benefits

This cable is actually part of the ABS system, specifically connecting to the ABS controller. It carries the electrical signals from the wheel speed sensor on the left front wheel to the ABS controller. Basically, it tells the computer how fast that wheel is spinning. It’s a pretty simple part, honestly, just a wire with a connector on each end, but it’s crucial for the whole system to work. Think of the ABS controller as the brain, and the wheel speed sensors as its eyes. This cable is one of the nerves carrying information to that brain. The ABS controller uses the speed data from all four wheels to determine if one is about to lock up during braking. It then pulses the brakes to prevent that lockup, which is what gives you the benefit of ABS – shorter stopping distances and keeping control while braking hard.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If this cable fails, the ABS controller won’t get accurate speed information from that front left wheel. That means the ABS system might not work correctly, or it might not work at all. You’ll likely see an ABS warning light on your dash. It won’t necessarily stop your car from braking, but you’ll lose the safety net of the ABS system. You’ll notice if it’s bad because the ABS light will be illuminated and the system won’t engage when you brake hard. It’s a relatively inexpensive part, and fixing it is much cheaper than dealing with the consequences of losing your ABS functionality.
