Wabco 4498020300 Cable with Socket

Description

This Wabco cable with socket is designed for use in ABS sensor systems within the drivetrain electronics of commercial vehicles. It connects the ABS sensor to the vehicle’s electronic control unit, enabling accurate wheel speed monitoring for enhanced braking performance and stability. This cable meets OE specifications, ensuring a reliable and direct fit. Its dimensions are 13 x 14 x 1500 mm. The cable features a Hirschmann connector on one end and a 3-pin sensor socket on the other.

Key Features & Benefits

This cable’s job is pretty simple, actually. It carries the signal from the ABS wheel speed sensor – that’s the part that actually measures how fast your wheels are spinning – to the ABS control module, which is the brain of the anti – lock braking system. It’s basically the messenger. The socket is how that sensor plugs in, so it needs to be solid to make a good connection. Think of your ABS system as a safety net. It prevents your wheels from locking up during hard braking, letting you steer while you’re stopping. This cable is a critical link in that chain. Each wheel has a sensor, and each one needs its own cable delivering accurate speed data. The ABS module uses that data to figure out if a wheel is about to lock, and then pulses the brakes to keep it rolling.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Honestly, if this cable fails, or gets damaged, your ABS light will almost certainly come on. Your brakes will still work, but you lose the ABS function. You'll notice if it’s really bad because the light will be illuminated constantly. It acts like a shield against skidding, so losing it isn't something you want. A faulty cable can send incorrect speed readings, which can mess with how the ABS system operates. You can find these pretty easily online—we stock a good range at Fixparts Online, but lots of places carry them. It’s usually a fairly straightforward repair, but definitely something you want to address promptly for safety’s sake.
