Carlson ABS Wheel Speed Sensors are designed to precisely match OE wire lengths, mounting and connector designs. Each sensor undergoes rigorous thermal, shock, vibration, durability, voltage, electrical and temperature testing for stability and reliability in all weather conditions.
Feautres & Benefits:
Detect wheel speed from as little as 0.1km/h
Weather-pack connectors protect against dirt, moisture, chemicals and other contaminants
Plated pins for increased conductivity and corrosion protection
Housing made with high quality reinforced plastic for superior resistance to the elements
Premium materials in connectors and terminals ensure an accurate, water-tight connection to the engine wire harness
Tested to withstand extreme temperatures from 125 C (257 F) to -40 C (-40 F)
Salt spray tested for 48 hours to ensure insulation resistance and high impedance
Reduced sensitivity to electromagnetic interference
Cable gauges in magnetic coils and connectors ensure OE signatures to ECU
Grommets and wire clips included where applicable to ensure proper mounting and routing within the chassis
Symptoms of a Failing Speed Sensor vs. ABS Wheel Speed Sensor
Some vehicles may use the same part for both a Speed Sensor and an ABS Wheel Speed Sensor, while others may use two different parts. These parts serve different systems of the vehicle and may fail for different reasons - it is important to replace the proper sensor to fix the underlying issue.
SPEED SENSOR
The Speed Sensor(s) measure rotational speed of the transmission shafts. Common failure symptoms include:
Erratic Speedometer Behavior
Harsh or Improper Shifting
Loss of Cruise Control
Surging or Hesitation
Check Engine Light On
Located in 'Electrical'
ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSOR
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) sensor monitors wheel speed. Common failure symptoms include:
