ABS Sensor

The whole purpose of your car’s ABS system is to prevent the wheels from locking up. To do this, the system needs some way of gauging wheel speed. An ABS sensor is attached to each wheel to provide this vital information. This allows the ABS controller to command the system to decrease braking pressure on one wheel when it starts to spin at a much slower rate than the others. This is important because rapid deceleration is a sure sign of wheel locking. Common signs that you need to replace your ABS sensors include the presence of dashboard warning lights, slower stopping times, and less stability in wet or icy conditions. To stay safe on the road, you must replace faulty speed sensors as soon possible. Find the right ABS sensor at a great price here on the Car Parts 4 Less website.
