Anti-lock Braking, ABS Systems allow the driver to maintain control of the car in an emergency braking situation. The ABS system relies on sensors to monitor the speed of the wheel and communicate with the ABS computer to ensure ideal performance. The data from the ABS sensor allows the computer to balance the speed of each wheel to prevent the brakes from locking up and avoiding dangerous skidding situations.
What does an ABS Sensor do?
The anti-lock braking system uses an ABS or wheel speed sensor to monitor the speed of the wheel, which
then sends this information to the ABS computer. In the event of an emergency stop, the ABS computer will
use this information to prevent the brakes from locking. If the wheel speeds are not equal, the computer will
regulate the anti-lock feature until the speeds are the same
Where are ABS sensors located?
The ABS sensor is usually located in each wheel hub or rotor on a four channel ABS system. The ABS sensor
may also be mounted in the rear differential in some rear wheel drive vehicles.
What does an illuminated ABS sensor light mean?
A failing sensor can illuminate the ABS light, and may cause failure of the anti-lock braking system during an
emergency stop. An illuminated ABS sensor light should be evaluated by an automotive professional.
What are the indications of a malfunctioning ABS sensor?
An ABS sensor and wiring can be visually inspected for exposed wires or broken connections. The sensor may
also be tested for OE-specified resistance with an ohmmeter

Purchased this and installed on our vehicle 12/2023. 6/2024 nearly had an accident when the VSC took over in heavy freeway traffic and it shouldn’t have. Spent many hours and a lot of money ruling out every other option only to find that this sensor was swollen. Confirmed the diagnosis by our trustworthy mechanic.

I like that it was a fraction of the price of anywhere else and it functions just as OEM with the same clips and in the same locations so that it’s tied up out of the way properly.
