Description

Overview

This wheel speed sensor lead 400mm straight suits heavy truck and trailer ABS systems where a compact, general purpose sensor and cable are required. It delivers reliable wheel speed feedback to the ABS control unit on modern trailer axles. Additionally, the straight style lead works well in tight spaces behind hubs or backing plates. As a result, it gives fleet workshops a simple replacement option when existing sensor leads fail.

Features

• 400mm straight wheel speed sensor lead for compact truck and trailer axle layouts
• Moulded sensor head and cable that resist moisture, road grime and vibration in harsh service
• Two core ABS signal lead compatible with common trailer ABS and EBS control modules
• Replacement option for several popular OE wheel speed sensor part numbers on heavy trailers

Specifications and Materials

Part number: FB2705.
This sensor lead uses a straight body design with an integral approx. 400mm cable and sealed connector for quick fitment. The construction typically combines an inductive wheel speed sensing element, a moulded housing and insulated multi strand copper conductors inside an abrasion resistant outer sheath. In normal use, technicians fit the sensor close to the tone ring in the hub or drum so that the ABS ECU receives a clean, consistent signal. For a broader technical explanation of wheel speed sensor design and operation, see the wheel speed sensor technical guide.

Compliance and Safety

Workshops should install this wheel speed sensor lead in line with axle and brake manufacturer guidelines. Firstly, set the sensor air gap to the tone ring correctly so the ABS system can read wheel speed accurately. Next, route the cable away from hot exhaust components, sharp edges and moving suspension arms. Additionally, always secure the lead with suitable clips or ties so it cannot chafe on brackets, tyres or the road surface. Technicians should isolate electrical power and follow lockout procedures before working on any ABS or EBS wiring.

Trailer Applications

This wheel speed sensor lead 400mm straight suits heavy trailer and semi trailer applications using electronic ABS or EBS braking systems. It fits well on close coupled axles, compact suspension modules and other locations where long looped cables can snag or rub. Moreover, fleet operators can keep this sensor on hand as a service replacement to reduce downtime when ABS fault codes trace back to damaged or corroded wheel speed leads. In many cases, replacing a failed sensor lead restores correct ABS operation without further component changes.
