Key Features & Benefits

This little thing basically provides the electrical connection for your ABS wheel speed sensor. It’s how the sensor sends information about how fast each wheel is spinning back to your car’s computer. It carries the signal, protects those wires from the elements, and keeps everything reliably connected. It’s a pretty simple part, but crucial. Think of your ABS system as needing to ‘know’ what each wheel is doing. This connector plug is part of how it gets that information. The wheel speed sensor itself reads the speed, and this plug carries that reading to the ABS module, which then decides if it needs to intervene during braking—to prevent lockup, things like that. It's one piece of a larger puzzle.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Without a good connection here, the ABS system can’t accurately read wheel speed. That’ll throw a code, your ABS light will probably come on, and more importantly, your anti – lock brakes may not function properly. You’ll notice if this is bad because the light on your dash will tell you something’s wrong, and you might feel a change in how your brakes behave. A damaged plug or corroded connections can cause intermittent issues, or a complete failure. You can find these pretty easily at places like Fixparts Online, and replacing it is often easier – and cheaper – than dealing with a bigger ABS system problem down the road. It’s a small piece but prevents a lot of headache.
