Abs Sensor

What Is an ABS Sensor?

An ABS sensor, also known as a wheel speed sensor, monitors the rotational speed of each wheel and feeds data to the ABS and traction control system. At A-Z Motor Factors Halifax, we stock OE-quality ABS sensors designed for precise readings, long life and reliable braking safety.

How the ABS Sensor Works

Each wheel has a speed sensor that:

• Detects wheel rotation

• Sends data to the ABS module

• Helps prevent wheel lock

• Ensures stable braking in emergencies

• Works with traction control and stability systems

A working ABS sensor is essential for proper brake control, grip and safety.

Signs an ABS Sensor Needs Replacing

Replace the ABS sensor if you notice:

• ABS warning light on dashboard

• Traction control (TCS/ESP) light

• Intermittent braking issues

• Skidding under hard braking

• Loss of traction control

• Speedometer irregularities (in some models)

• Fault codes such as C0035, C0040, C0045 etc.

Most ABS faults are caused by worn or corroded wheel sensors or broken tone rings.

Types of ABS Sensors We Supply

We stock all ABS sensor types for every vehicle:

• Front wheel speed sensors

• Rear wheel speed sensors

• Hub-integrated sensors

• Passive magnetic sensors

• Active multi-pole sensors

Left / Right & Front / Rear Fitment

ABS sensors vary based on:

• Wheel location

• Hub design

• Type of tone ring

• ABS module compatibility

• Brake system type

• Cable length and connector type

Our reg lookup ensures you get the exact fit for your vehicle.

Why ABS Sensors Fail

Common causes include:

• Rust buildup on the hub

• Damaged tone rings

• Broken sensor wiring

• Road salt corrosion

• Water ingress

• Impact damage

• Internal sensor failure

Early replacement prevents ABS pump stress and safety issues.
