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

The ABS cable appeared to be an exact fit, and the price is certainly a plus, however the sensor did not fit snugly. It slid in and out without sealing. The problem was easy to see. The o-ring was too small to give a tight seal. In fact, it didn’t seal at all. I tried swapping it out with the o-ring off the old cable, but that was too tight because the o-ring seat was not cut deep enough to accommodate a thicker o-ring. I put the first one back on and applied an extra dollop of lithium grease to try to form some sort of dust seal so the sensor would not get contaminated.

I was having issues with 4x4 due to needing one of these. Get OEM part because this one fixed the prob but will not turn dash lights off. Which is a prob for me

Worked well on a 2013 Nissan Titan. It was the same length as the factory with all the same grommets and mounting specs. Cant beat it for the price as the OEM sensor about $180. Easy to replace all you need to do is remove the tire, remove the 2 large caliper bracket bolts and set the whole caliper aside and then just slide off the brake rotor then you can change it out. Its held in place by a single allen bolt. Took 30 minutes to replace.
