Wabco 4497200100 Connector Cable

Description

This Wabco Connector Cable, MPN 4497200100, is a critical component within the brake system, specifically designed as a brake pad wear sensor connection. It's used to transmit signals from the brake pad wear sensor to the vehicle’s electronic control unit. This cable features a 3-pin coupling connector on one end and a 3-pin coupling socket on the other. Its dimensions are 27 x 240 x 296 mm. The OE specification ensures reliable performance and seamless integration with existing vehicle systems, providing accurate brake wear monitoring for enhanced safety and maintenance.

Key Features & Benefits

This little cable basically just does what it sounds like – it connects the brake pad wear sensor to the vehicle’s electrical system. It’s a simple wiring harness, really, providing the path for the sensor to send information about your brake pad thickness. It’s got a couple of wires inside, usually, and connectors on each end that plug into the sensor and the vehicle’s computer. Think of the brake pad wear sensor as an early warning system for your brakes. As your brake pads wear down, the sensor detects that, and sends a signal through this connector cable to your dashboard. That’s how you get that warning light telling you it’s time to get your brakes checked. It's part of the overall brake system, giving you information to keep things running safely.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It’s crucial because without it, you won’t get that warning light. You won’t know your pads are getting thin until you start hearing that grinding metal – on – metal sound, which means you’ve already damaged your rotors, and now it’s a much bigger, more expensive repair. This cable acts like a shield, protecting you from unexpected brake failure and saving you money in the long run. You’ll notice if this cable is bad because the brake warning light on your dash won't come on even when your pads are worn, or it might be intermittent. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online if you want to take a look, and they're usually a pretty straightforward swap.
