Wabco 4410320222 Inductive Sensor Kit with Connector

Description

This kit contains an inductive sensor and connector, designed for use within vehicle ABS systems. It's a crucial component for detecting wheel speed and providing data to the ABS control module, ensuring optimal braking performance and vehicle stability. This Wabco kit, with MPN 4410320222, is a repair solution that meets OE specifications. The sensor dimensions are 65 x 210 x 220 mm, providing a precise fit and reliable operation. It’s engineered to restore factory-level functionality, enhancing safety and extending the life of the braking system.

Key Features & Benefits

These sensors basically read how fast your wheels are spinning. They do this without actually touching anything – that’s where the “inductive” part comes in. They create a magnetic field, and as the toothed ring – the reluctor ring or tone wheel – on your wheel hub spins past the sensor, it disrupts that field. The sensor then sends a signal – an electrical pulse – back to your car’s computer, telling it the wheel’s speed. The kit includes the sensor itself, and a connector – sometimes the connector gets brittle or corroded and needs replacing too, so it's good they bundle it. This signal is absolutely vital for a few different systems. The big one is your Anti – lock Braking System – ABS. The computer uses the speed from each wheel sensor to figure out if a wheel is locking up during braking. It then momentarily releases the brakes on that wheel to help maintain control. It's also used by your traction control system and stability control – things like electronic stability program – all these systems rely on accurate wheel speed data. Plus, it feeds information to your speedometer and sometimes even the transmission.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Honestly, if one of these sensors goes bad, you’ll notice. Usually the ABS light will come on on your dash, and sometimes the traction control light too. Depending on the vehicle, you might also get a check engine light. More seriously, if the computer isn't getting accurate wheel speed readings, those safety systems – ABS, traction control – won’t work right. It’s like taking away a shield that’s protecting you. A bad sensor can really impact your ability to control the vehicle, especially in bad weather. They’re pretty durable, but they do get exposed to a lot – road salt, water, impacts – and eventually they can fail. If you’re handy, they’re usually fairly straightforward to replace, but if not, definitely get a professional to do it. You can find kits like this one at places like Fixparts Online, but it's always good to check your vehicle's specific year, make and model to make sure it's the right fit.
