Wabco 4410322900 Sensor with Connector

Description

This Wabco sensor with connector is an essential component of a vehicle's Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), used on the rear axle left to monitor wheel speed and provide critical data to the ABS control module. This sensor is designed to meet OE specifications, ensuring reliable performance and compatibility. Its robust construction, featuring an IP 68 and IP 6K9K protection rating, shields it from dust, water, and harsh environmental conditions. Measuring 58 x 210 x 225 mm, this axial version sensor incorporates a GHW-Connector (Code A) with hooks for a secure and dependable electrical connection and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +80°C.

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.
