ABS Wheel Speed Sensor - front sensor for the four-wheel anti-lock braking system.

The sensor mounts in the front axle housing with its pole piece set close to the toothed exciter ring that rotates with the hub. As the teeth pass the tip they induce an alternating voltage whose frequency is proportional to wheel speed. The ABS control unit compares the signals from all four sensors and releases and reapplies brake line pressure at any wheel decelerating faster than the vehicle as a whole.

Air gap and tip cleanliness are critical. A build-up of ferrous debris on the sensor tip, a corroded mounting bore or a damaged exciter ring will produce an intermittent or low-amplitude signal, which the control unit logs as a sensor fault and which illuminates the ABS warning lamp.

Frequently asked questions

What is the front ABS wheel speed sensor for?
The front ABS wheel speed sensor measures front wheel rotation for the 4-wheel anti-lock braking system on the Defender and Discovery 1. It feeds wheel speed data to the ABS controller.
Which models does this fit?
This front ABS sensor fits the Defender 1987 to 2006 and Discovery 1 1989 to 1998 with 4-wheel ABS. Confirm your vehicle is ABS-equipped, as not all of these had ABS fitted.
How many front ABS sensors do I need?
This is a front sensor, and there is typically one per front wheel. Order two if you are replacing both front corners on the Defender or Discovery 1.
What are the symptoms of a failed front ABS sensor?
A failed front ABS sensor lights the ABS warning and can disable anti-lock braking on the Defender and Discovery 1. Corrosion at the sensor tip is a common cause. Replace it if the ABS light stays on.
