Standard Motor Products SC242 ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

The Standard Motor Products SC242 is a direct-fit replacement ABS Wheel Speed Sensor (WSS) designed for Acura vehicles. This sensor monitors wheel rotational speed and delivers real-time data to the vehicle's Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Engine Control Module (ECM), helping maintain safe, controlled braking performance.

Key Features:

• Direct OE replacement — engineered to match original equipment fit, form, and function
• Monitors wheel speed to support ABS intervention during hard braking events
• Superior magnetic circuit materials for higher voltage output and reliable signal accuracy
• Designed for speed, accuracy, and durability in real-world driving conditions
• Helps prevent false ABS activation and traction control faults
• Sold individually

The vehicle speed sensor — commonly referred to as a VSS or wheel speed sensor — is one of the most critical sensors on modern vehicles. Beyond ABS control, VSS data influences transmission shift points, torque converter clutch operation, idle-air control, fuel delivery, and ignition timing under OBD-II engine management strategies. A faulty sensor can trigger dashboard warning lights, erratic transmission behavior, or loss of ABS function.

Standard Motor Products is a leading independent supplier to the automotive aftermarket, offering one of the most comprehensive sensor lines available. Each sensor is extensively tested and validated to ensure precise performance across a wide range of operating conditions.
