N2255200061 MAN SENSOR

MAN N2255200061 Sensor

Description

This is an ABS sensor manufactured by MAN, part number N2255200061. It is a critical component within a vehicle's Anti-lock Braking System, responsible for monitoring wheel speed and providing data to the ABS control module. This sensor plays a vital role in maintaining vehicle stability and control during braking events. Its precise measurements enable the ABS system to effectively prevent wheel lockup, reducing stopping distances and enhancing driver safety. The sensor dimensions are 12 x 200 x 360 mm.

Key Features & Benefits

This sensor basically measures wheel speed. It sends a signal to the brake control unit – that’s the ABS and ESC brain – letting it know how fast each wheel is turning. Different sensors exist for different wheels – front left, rear right, and so on. Some also detect things like yaw rate – that’s how much the car is rotating – and lateral acceleration, how much it’s sliding sideways. They’re all working together to give the computer a complete picture of what’s happening with the wheels. Think of it like this: the sensor is the eyes and ears for the ABS and ESC system. The computer uses that information to decide when to intervene, like applying brakes individually to prevent a skid or helping to steer the car during a loss of control. Without accurate sensor data, that system can’t work properly, or even at all. It’s a critical link in keeping you safe.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

These sensors are really important for safety. You’ll notice if one fails because the ABS light will probably come on, and your anti – lock brakes and stability control might not function as intended. That means longer stopping distances, especially in slippery conditions, and less help if you start to lose control. It acts like a shield, preventing wheel lockup and helping you maintain control. A failing sensor doesn’t always mean the car won't stop, but it definitely compromises the safety systems designed to help you in emergencies. If you’re getting a warning light, it’s best to get it checked out and replaced promptly.
