FAQs
Is this sensor for the front or rear axle?
This specific CI XABS1285 sensor is designed for rear axle installation.
Does it come with mounting hardware?
The sensor is supplied as a standalone unit. You should reuse existing hardware or replace it with equivalent OEM-grade bolts.
Will this fit any Vauxhall model?
No, it is only compatible with specific models that utilize the 13379166 or 42703445 OE reference numbers. Always verify your specific vehicle compatibility.
What happens if the cable is too tight during installation?
Ensure the cable is routed through factory-designed brackets. If the cable is too tight, it may snap or disconnect during suspension travel.
Do I need to program the sensor?
No, this is an active sensor that is recognized automatically by the vehicle's computer once installed, though clearing existing fault codes is recommended.
Troubleshooting
ABS warning light remains on after installation
Clear the fault codes from the vehicle's ECU using an OBD-II diagnostic scanner, as the system may store the error until manually reset.
Intermittent sensor failure codes
Check the wiring harness for signs of fraying or internal corrosion and ensure the sensor tip is correctly seated and free of metallic debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installing, verify your vehicle's VIN against the compatible OEM part numbers 13379166 and 42703445. To install, securely lift the vehicle, remove the rear wheel, and unbolt the old sensor from the axle housing. Clean the mounting port thoroughly using a wire brush to remove oxidation, as a poor ground or misaligned sensor can cause intermittent connectivity. Ensure the 2-pin connector clicks audibly into place to confirm the seal. When routing the 90 mm cable, secure it with factory clips to prevent vibration fatigue or rubbing against moving suspension components.
