ADBP710137 Blue Print ABS Sensor

Blue Print ADBP710137 ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

Description

The ABS Wheel Speed Sensor is a crucial component for the Anti-lock Braking System in vehicles, responsible for detecting wheel speed and sending signals to the control unit. It is used in various automotive applications, particularly in brake controls systems. This sensor provides accurate and reliable data to ensure smooth braking performance. The Blue Print ADBP710137 ABS Wheel Speed Sensor measures 20.0 x 20.0 x 895.0 mm in size and originates from China.

Key Features & Benefits

These sensors basically monitor how fast each of your wheels is turning. They do this by reading a toothed ring, or reluctor ring, that's attached to the wheel hub or axle. They send that speed information as an electrical signal back to the ABS control module. There’s one sensor at each wheel, so the system knows exactly how fast each one is spinning. The ABS control module uses the info from all those wheel speed sensors to determine if a wheel is about to lock up during braking. If it detects that one wheel is slowing down much faster than the others – meaning it’s about to lose traction – it momentarily releases and reapplies brake pressure to that wheel. This prevents skidding and helps you maintain steering control. It also feeds data to other systems like traction control and stability control, so it’s a pretty important piece. Think of it as the eyes and ears of your braking system, constantly watching what’s happening with each wheel.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If a wheel speed sensor fails, the ABS light will come on. Beyond that, your ABS system won’t work correctly, or might not work at all. You’ll notice if you lose ABS functionality, particularly in slippery conditions like rain or snow. It's a safety item, plain and simple. If one fails, the system may default to a non – ABS braking mode. We carry these pretty regularly at Fixparts Online, and getting a faulty one replaced is definitely a good idea for keeping things safe. It’s one of those parts where preventative maintenance can save you a lot of trouble down the road. Product information is provided for reference only.
