Airtex 5S5994 ABS Wheel Speed Sensor ALS196

The Airtex 5S5994 ABS wheel speed sensor (also called an ABS speed sensor or anti-lock brake sensor) is a replacement part for the wheel-end sensor that monitors wheel rotation speed. The anti-lock brake system relies on this signal. The ABS control module uses it to adjust braking pressure at each wheel and help prevent wheel lock-up.

Key Features:

• Direct-replacement ABS wheel speed sensor from Airtex
• Sends wheel speed data to the ABS control module
• Signal may also be used for speedometer input, depending on vehicle design
• Bolt-mount, wheel-location sensor design
• Cross-reference: ALS196

A failing wheel speed sensor can trigger the ABS warning light, cause erratic speedometer readings, or stop the ABS from engaging correctly. Replacing a faulty sensor restores correct ABS operation.
