Wabco 9607320000 Wheel Internal Sensor

Description

The Wabco 9607320000 Optitire Wheel Internal Sensor is a critical component used within wheel assemblies to monitor tire pressure and temperature. It provides accurate data for vehicle safety systems and helps optimize tire performance. This device is designed for robust operation in demanding environments, featuring an IP 5K4 protection class and a wide operational range of 0 to 13 bar. Its dimensions are 44 x 14 x 63 mm and 64 x 44 x 18 mm, and it meets OE specifications for reliable performance.

Key Features & Benefits

This sensor basically measures how fast each wheel is spinning and reports that information back to your car's computer. It uses a toothed ring – sometimes it’s built into the wheel hub, sometimes it’s a separate ring – and the sensor reads the teeth as the wheel turns. It sends out a digital signal, essentially a series of pulses, and the faster the wheel spins, the more pulses are sent. It also detects the direction the wheel is turning. Now, that speed information is super important for a bunch of things. Your ABS system – that’s your anti – lock brakes – relies on these sensors. If one wheel starts to lock up during braking, the ABS uses the info from these sensors to pulse that brake, keeping you in control. It’s also a key part of your traction control system, which prevents wheel spin when accelerating. And, crucially, it feeds data to your stability control system – that helps prevent skids and keeps you pointed where you want to go. Modern cars use this data for things like automatic transmissions, cruise control, and even the speedometer.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Without a functioning wheel speed sensor, those systems just won’t work right, or they won’t work at all. You’ll likely have an ABS light on your dash – that’s usually the first sign. Sometimes you’ll notice if it’s a front sensor because the ABS might activate unnecessarily. A failing rear sensor can be trickier to spot immediately. If it’s completely dead, your ABS and traction control will be disabled, which is obviously not ideal. We’ve got a good selection of these on Fixparts Online if you want to check for your vehicle, but it’s one of those parts where getting the right one for your make and model is essential.
