Description and Purpose

The Freightliner® Anti-Skid Brake Sensor plays a vital role in monitoring wheel speed during braking. It helps to detect potential skidding situations by transmitting real-time data to the vehicle’s braking sysstem, allowing it to adjust brake pressure and prevent wheel lock-up. This ensures enhanced vehicle stability and safety, especially under slippery or emergency braking conditions.

Why Replacement is Important

A malfunctioning anti-skid brake sensor can lead to inaccurate wheel speed readings, causing the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) to malfunction. This may result in compromised braking efficiency, reduced stability, and increased risk of accidents. Replacing a faulty sensor ensures that the vjehicle’s braking system operates smoothly, providing reliable performance in all road conditions.

Impact on Vehicle Performance

This sensor is compatible with a range of vehicles, including Kenworth, Peterbilt, Ford, Volvo/Mack, International/Navistar, and Freightliner. Its straight sensor angle and 40-inch cable length allow for easy installation and integration into the vehicle’s braking system. Featuring a DT04-2P type plug and a lightweight design (0.57 lbs), the sensor ensures accurate wheel speed data transmission, contributing to safer and more reliable braking performance.
