Wabco 4460083952 ABS Plug 12V

Description

The Wabco ABS Plug 12V is a crucial component within the anti-lock braking system, ensuring vehicle safety and control by preventing wheel lockup during braking. It's commonly used in commercial vehicles and trailers to maintain stability and optimize stopping distances. This component meets OE specification and provides a reliable connection for ABS system functionality. Measuring 73 x 98 x 134 mm, it features 5 pins and is designed for 12V systems.

Key Features & Benefits

This little plug basically connects the ABS module – that’s part of your anti – lock braking system – to your vehicle’s electrical system. It carries power and sends signals back and forth. It’s a multi – pin connector, so it handles a good bit of communication. It’s not complicated, but it has to do its job reliably. Think of your ABS system as having a ‘brain’ – that’s the module. This plug is like one of the main nerves connecting that brain to everything else. It allows the module to talk to the wheel speed sensors, the pump that actually controls the braking, and even the dashboard warning light. Without a solid connection here, none of that happens smoothly. It's a pretty critical connection point.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, if this plug fails, you’ll likely notice if your ABS light comes on. That's your first sign. But it can also cause intermittent ABS issues—maybe your ABS activates when it shouldn’t, or doesn't activate when it should. A failing plug can disrupt the signals, leading to unpredictable braking. It acts like a shield, protecting the connection from corrosion and ensuring everything stays stable. It's a relatively small part, but a bad one can cause some significant safety issues. You can find these pretty easily, even on a site like Fixparts Online, and they're usually pretty straightforward to replace.
