Description and Purpose

The Ford® Wheel Motion Sensor is a critical component in the vehicle’s wheel speed monitoring system. It ensures accurate tracking of wheel motion, transmitting data to the vehicle's control systems to optimize performance and safety, particularly in anti-lock braking systems (ABS). This sensor helps maintain stability during braking and accelerates, preventing skidding and loss of control.

Why Replacement is Important

When a wheel motion sensor fails, it can lead to incorrect wheel speed data, potentially causing problems with the ABS or traction control system. This can compromise vehicle stability and braking performance, especially in challenging road conditions. Replacing a faulty sensor ensures the vehicle maintains its safety features and performs optimally, reducing the risk of accidents.

Impact on Vehicle Performance

This sensor is compatible with a variety of vehicles, including Kenworth, Peterbilt, Ford, Volvo/Mack, International/Navistar, and Freightliner. With a 40-inch cable length and a straight sensor angle, it offers straightforward installation. The sensor features a DT04-2P type plug and weighs just 0.57 lbs, ensuring both ease of use and durability for consistent wheel motion tracking and reliable vehicle safety.

Manufacturer Information:

Ford Motor Company, founded by Henry Ford in 1903 and headquartered in Dearborn, Michigan, is one of the world’s largest and most iconic automobile manufacturers. The company is widely known for its innovation in manufacturing processes, particularly for introducing mass production techniques using moving assembly lines. This approach, known as Fordism, revolutionized industries and made cars more affordable to the masses. Ford's operations are split across various brands, including the mainstream Ford brand and its luxury vehicle division, Lincoln.

Ford has a rich history of acquisitions and divestitures. In the late 1980s and early 2000s, Ford acquired notable UK brands such as Jaguar and Land Rover, later selling them to Tata Motors in 2008. Ford also owned Swedish automaker Volvo from 1999 to 2010 before divesting that business as well. The company made a strategic move in 2010 by discontinuing its Mercury brand, which had been marketed in North America for upscale cars since 1938.
