This Wabco ABS sensor kit is a crucial component of the vehicle's anti-lock braking system, ensuring optimal braking performance and safety. It is designed for use in the drivetrain electronics of vehicles equipped with ABS. This repair kit adheres to OE specifications, delivering reliable functionality and a precise fit. Measuring 35 x 192 x 200 mm, this kit offers a straightforward solution for maintaining the integrity of the ABS system, contributing to enhanced vehicle control and driver confidence.

Key Features & Benefits

These sensors basically watch how fast each wheel is spinning. They send that information up to the ABS module, which is the computer that controls your anti – lock braking system. Each sensor is usually magnetic – it picks up on a toothed ring, or ‘reluctor ring’, that’s spinning with the wheel. It turns that mechanical rotation into an electrical signal the computer can understand. The kit includes everything you need to replace a failing sensor – the sensor itself, sometimes a new clip or bracket, and maybe even some anti – seize lubricant for the bolt. This sensor is a key part of your braking system. It doesn't make your brakes work, but it’s what allows the ABS to kick in when you need it. The ABS module uses the information from these sensors to figure out if a wheel is about to lock up during hard braking. If it detects that, it quickly pulses the brakes on that wheel to keep it rolling, which lets you maintain steering control. It’s also closely linked to other systems like traction control and stability control, so a bad sensor can sometimes trigger lights for those systems too.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, if one of these sensors fails, your ABS light will almost certainly come on. You’ll likely notice if it’s a front sensor because the light may stay on constantly. A rear sensor might cause intermittent issues, or the light might flash. More importantly, without a functioning ABS system, you lose that extra bit of control during hard stops, especially on slippery surfaces. The ABS acts like a shield, preventing wheel lockup. It's definitely something you want to keep in good working order for safety’s sake. You can find a good kit with everything you need over at Fixparts Online, or we can check our stock here as well.
