Description and Purpose

The Bendix® ABS Wheel Speed Sensor is a critical component in a vehicle’s anti-lock braking system (ABS). It monitors wheel speed and sends real-time data to the ABS control module, allowing the system to prevent wheel lock-up during braking. This enhances vehicle stability, control, and overall safety, especially in challenging road conditions.

Why Replacement is Important

Over time, ABS sensors can wear out due to exposure to road debris, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. A malfunctioning sensor may cause ABS warning lights, reduced braking efficiency, or loss of anti-lock braking functionality. Replacing a faulty sensor restores proper ABS operation, ensuring safe braking performance and compliance with safety regulations.

Impact on Vehicle Performance

This sensor is compatible with a wide range of vehicles, including Ford, Peterbilt, Kenworth, Freightliner, Volvo/Mack, and International/Navistar models. It features a straight sensor angle, a durable DT04-2P type plug, and a 40-inch cable length for flexible installation. Weighing only 0.57 lbs, this sensor integrates seamlessly with the vehicle’s braking system, providing accurate speed data for reliable ABS performance and enhanced driving safety.
