Wabco 4410322880 Sensor with Connector

Description

This Wabco sensor with connector is an essential component of a vehicle's Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), designed to monitor wheel speed and provide crucial data to the ABS control module. It is typically used on the rear axle left side of the vehicle. This sensor meets OE specifications and is built with an IP 68 and IP 6K9K protection rating, ensuring durability and reliability in harsh environments. The sensor measures 55 x 221 x 226 mm and features a GHW-Connector (Code A) with hook connections. Its axial version and operating temperature range of -40°C to +80°C contribute to consistent and accurate performance.

Key Features & Benefits

This sensor’s job is pretty straightforward – it monitors how fast each wheel is spinning. It does that by reading a toothed ring, called a reluctor ring or tone ring, that's attached to the wheel hub or axle. Basically, as the wheel turns, those teeth pass by the sensor, and it sends an electrical signal back to the vehicle’s computer – the ABS module. That signal tells the computer the speed of each wheel. It’s a pretty simple principle, but very effective. Now, this signal is key for a couple of things. Primarily, it’s how your Anti – lock Braking System works. The ABS module uses the information from all four wheel speed sensors to detect if a wheel is about to lock up during braking. If it senses that, it quickly pulses the brakes on that wheel, letting it keep rotating and giving you steering control. The sensor also feeds data to systems like traction control and stability control – it's a vital piece of that whole puzzle. Think of the sensor as an “eye” for the car, telling the computer what each wheel is doing.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If this sensor goes bad, your ABS light will almost certainly come on. You’ll notice if it’s really failing because your ABS might not engage when you need it, which obviously affects safety. Beyond that, sometimes a failing sensor can even mess with your speedometer readings or cause issues with the transmission. It’s one of those parts where you don’t really think about it until it isn't working right. You can find these sensors, and a lot of other drivetrain electronics, over at Fixparts Online if you’re looking for a good source. Replacing a failing sensor gets that system functioning correctly again and keeps you safe on the road.
