Wabco 4497210800 Connector Plug with Cable

Description

This Connector Plug with Cable is a vital component within a vehicle's ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) control system. It's designed for use with Wabco ABS controllers, facilitating a secure connection between sensors and the main control unit. The cable features a 2-pin sensor plug on one end and an open 2-strand connection on the other, using 2 x 0.75 mm² conductors. This connector is manufactured to OE specification, ensuring reliable performance and compatibility. Its dimensions are 30 x 300 x 300 mm. This part provides a robust and dependable connection that contributes to optimal brake system functionality and vehicle safety.

Key Features & Benefits

This plug and its cable basically handle all the communication between the ABS controller – the brain of your anti – lock braking system – and the wheel speed sensors on your car. Those sensors tell the controller how fast each wheel is spinning. The plug carries those signals, plus sends commands from the controller to the system, telling it when to activate the ABS. It's a pretty simple part, honestly, but vital. Think of it as a direct line of communication. Each wheel has a sensor, and this plug connects all those sensors back to the ABS controller. Without a solid connection here, the controller is flying blind. It won't know if a wheel is locking up, and the ABS won’t be able to do its job. It’s a crucial piece of the puzzle for safe braking.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, the ABS is there to prevent your wheels from locking up during hard braking, which lets you maintain steering control. If this connector is corroded, damaged, or the wires are broken, it interrupts that communication. You’ll notice if it's really bad – the ABS light on your dashboard will almost certainly come on. Even if the light isn’t on, a poor connection can still cause issues with the system’s performance, especially in slick conditions. You might not get the full benefit of the ABS when you need it most. Parts like this can sometimes seem small, but they’re responsible for a big safety feature. We’ve got a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and finding the right one for your specific vehicle is important, so make sure you get the correct part number.
