Product Information
Full details
The CI ABS Wheel Speed Sensor XABS1043 is an essential replacement component for automotive technicians and DIY mechanics needing to restore or maintain rear-axle wheel speed detection. It provides accurate data to your vehicle's braking and stability control systems to ensure safe operation, though it is specifically engineered for rear axle applications and must be verified against your vehicle's exact make and model compatibility to ensure a proper fit.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this sensor compatible with the front axle?
No, this sensor is specifically engineered for rear axle applications.
Does this package include mounting hardware?
The XABS1043 includes the sensor itself; please retain your original mounting bolts.
Can I use this on any vehicle?
No, you must verify your specific vehicle's compatibility via your parts catalog as ABS sensors are vehicle-specific.
What does the 40 mm fitting depth mean?
This is the measurement from the mounting flange to the sensor tip, which must match the factory specification to ensure the sensor reads the reluctor ring correctly.
How do I know if the sensor is bad?
Symptoms of a failing sensor include an illuminated ABS/ESP warning light, inconsistent traction control behavior, or erratic braking performance.
Troubleshooting
ABS warning light remains on after installation
Clear the fault codes from the vehicle's ECU using an OBD-II scanner. The system may require a drive cycle to reset.
Sensor signal is intermittent
Check the 2-pin oval connector for bent pins or corrosion and ensure the wiring is not pinched by suspension components.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Precise active sensor technology for improved stability control
- Durable housing designed to withstand harsh under-vehicle conditions
- Exact rear-axle specification ensures a direct fit
- High-quality electrical shielding in the 785 mm cable
Cons
- Application restricted to rear axle positions only
- Requires proper clearance measurement during installation
- Not compatible with vehicles requiring multi-pin or square connectors
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires lifting the vehicle safely on jack stands and removing the rear wheel to access the sensor mount.
- Preparation: Clean the mounting area of road grime or rust before removing the old sensor to prevent debris from entering the sensor bore.
- Routing: Route the 785 mm cable through existing chassis clips to prevent heat damage from the exhaust system or friction from suspension movement.
- Connection: Ensure the 2-pin oval connector clicks securely into the vehicle harness; a loose connection is the primary cause of intermittent ABS warnings.
- Maintenance: During routine tire rotations, inspect the sensor wire for any signs of fraying or heat damage. Do not use chemical solvents on the sensor head, as this can degrade the active sensing element.
