Febi 179107 ABS Sensor

Description

The Febi ABS Sensor is a crucial component of a vehicle's anti-lock braking system (ABS). It monitors wheel speed and provides data to the ABS controller, preventing wheel lockup during braking for improved steering control and shorter stopping distances. This sensor is typically located near the wheel hub and is essential for maintaining vehicle safety. The Febi ABS Sensor, with MPN 179107, is manufactured to exacting standards ensuring reliable performance and durability. Its dimensions are 1 x 260 x 195 mm, and it is made in China. By accurately detecting wheel rotation, this sensor contributes to enhanced braking efficiency and a more secure driving experience.

Key Features & Benefits

These sensors basically monitor how fast each wheel is spinning. They send that information up to the ABS control module – think of it as the brain of the ABS system. Each sensor’s got a toothed ring, called a reluctor ring, and the sensor reads the teeth as they pass by. That gives the computer a speed reading for each wheel, constantly. The ABS sensor is a critical part of your anti – lock braking system. Without accurate readings from these, the ABS can’t work properly. Your car uses that wheel speed data to figure out if a wheel is about to lock up during braking. If a wheel slows way down compared to the others, that’s a sign it’s losing grip and about to skid. The ABS system then pulses the brakes on that wheel to regain traction. It’s all happening really fast, several times a second.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, without working ABS sensors, your anti – lock brakes won’t function correctly, and you’ll lose that safety net. It means in a hard braking situation, particularly on a slippery surface, you could easily lock up your wheels and skid. That significantly increases your stopping distance and reduces your steering control. You’ll notice if one fails because the ABS light on your dash will illuminate. Sometimes you might even feel a pulsing in the brake pedal when you shouldn't. You can find these pretty easily at places like Fixparts Online. It’s usually best to replace these in pairs – if one has failed, the others aren’t far behind.
