Wabco 4460037040 ABS Control Module

Description

The Wabco 4460037040 is an ABS Control Module, a critical component of a vehicle's braking system. It is designed to prevent wheel lockup during braking, enhancing vehicle stability and driver control, particularly in emergency situations. This module is an essential part of the braking system, ensuring optimal performance and safety. The ABS Control Module, version E, operates on a 24V system and is an OE specification replacement part.

Key Features & Benefits

This little guy basically manages your anti – lock braking system. It gets signals from wheel speed sensors – there's one at each wheel – and figures out if any of them are about to lock up during braking. Then it rapidly pulses the brakes at that wheel to keep it rolling while still allowing you to slow down. It also works with things like traction control and stability control systems if your vehicle has those. It's a pretty complex computer, really, handling a lot of quick calculations. Think of it as the brain behind your anti – lock brakes. It doesn’t do the braking itself, it just controls the hydraulic system that does. It’s constantly monitoring what’s going on with each wheel and ready to jump into action if it detects a problem. It’s usually located somewhere near the master cylinder, tucked away in the engine bay. It receives power and communicates with other systems, so it’s a key part of your vehicle’s safety network.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

This is a big one for safety. Without a functioning ABS module, you lose the benefits of anti – lock brakes, meaning during hard braking, especially on slippery surfaces, your wheels can lock up. When that happens, you lose steering control and it takes you much longer to stop. It acts like a shield, preventing wheel lockup. You’ll notice if it fails – the ABS light on your dashboard will illuminate, and you might also experience longer stopping distances or pulsing in the brake pedal even when you aren’t braking hard. We carry a good range of these at Fixparts Online if you decide to replace it yourself, and we can definitely help you find the correct one for your vehicle.
