Wabco 8941102320 ABS/EBS Socket

Description

The Wabco 8941102320 ABS/EBS Socket is a critical component within the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic braking system (EBS) of commercial vehicles. This socket facilitates the electrical connection for these essential safety systems, ensuring reliable communication between sensors and the control module. This OE specification socket provides a robust and dependable connection, contributing to the overall efficiency and safety of the braking system. It measures 63 x 93 x 86 mm.

Key Features & Benefits

This socket is basically the connection point for the ABS or EBS control module. ABS, of course, is your Anti – lock Braking System, and EBS is the Electronic Braking System – similar idea, just a little more advanced. The socket receives the signals from all the wheel speed sensors, and it sends information to the ABS/EBS module. Think of it like a central hub where everything communicates about your braking system. It’s where the electrical signals get passed around. It’s a pretty critical piece, actually. It's part of the whole system that prevents your wheels from locking up during hard braking, which helps you maintain steering control. Without a good connection here, the module can't get accurate data about what’s happening at each wheel. It’s usually located near the hydraulic unit, where all the main braking components are. It's not something you’ll see directly, but it's definitely a key part of how everything works.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If this socket fails, or gets corroded, it throws everything off. You’ll likely see an ABS warning light on your dash, and the ABS system might not function properly when you need it. It acts like a shield protecting the sensitive electronics inside the module, so if it's damaged, moisture or dirt can get in and cause all sorts of problems. You’ll notice if it’s failing because you might have trouble stopping, or the system could activate unexpectedly. If you’re having ABS issues, it’s one of the first things a technician will check. You can find replacements pretty easily – we carry them at Fixparts Online, and a lot of other auto parts suppliers do too. Replacing it usually involves disconnecting the module, unplugging the old socket, and plugging in the new one.
