Abs Speed Sensor?

Driving at high speeds on a relatively free highway, you see an incoming vehicle. It's about to swerve to your lane, and you only have a few seconds to react. In the nick of time, you were able to apply your brakes in full-force. While trying to calm your nerves, you notice that your wheels didn't make a skidding noise. Plus, the distance between you and that crazy driver is enough to give you a boy scout's safety medal. That amazing braking power is all thanks to your ABS Speed Sensor.

The Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) Speed Sensor is a part of a safety system that senses how fast your wheels are going before you hit the brakes. Upon slamming your foot on the brake pedal, this sensor sends data to your ABS, where this system then prevents your wheels from locking up. The benefits? Well, the most apparent benefit for you is that your car's braking distance is significantly better (e.g. shorter) than other vehicles with non-ABS systems. Not only that, the ABS Speed Sensor also lets you maintain control of your vehicle during heavy braking. Whenever you're driving on slippery roads, this sensor can observe slight differences in wheel speed. So when you apply your brakes, you can be sure that your car won't slip—or worse, fishtail—out of control. Plus, having this on your car also prevents your tires from skidding—thus prolonging your tires' service life.

How does it all work? Well, the sensor works with the whole anti-lock braking system by stopping your wheel just as it begins to skid. This sensor then releases the brake pressure and applies the brakes. As a result, the braking distance of your car is significantly lowered and tire skidding is greatly minimized. With such an amazing unit, you can be sure that you and your passengers will stay safe from harm. In case you're in need of a new sensor, we've got this part here at Car Parts Wholesale.
