FAQs
What does an ABS sensor do?
An ABS sensor monitors the rotational speed of a wheel and sends this information to the vehicle's ABS control module. This data is crucial for the Anti-lock Braking System to prevent wheels from locking up during braking and for traction control systems to maintain stability.
How do I know if my ABS sensor needs replacing?
Common signs include the ABS warning light illuminating on your dashboard, a reduced or non-functional ABS system during braking, and potential issues with traction control. Sometimes, a diagnostic scan tool is required to pinpoint the exact sensor fault.
Is this sensor compatible with my car?
This sensor (XABS103) is designed for the rear left position and is compatible with specific VAG OEM references (6Q0927807A, 6Q092780). Always verify your vehicle's existing part number against the provided compatibility information and cross-references.
Does this sensor come with a mounting clip?
No, this specific model (XABS103) is supplied without a mounting clip.
What type of sensor is the XABS103?
The XABS103 is a Hall Sensor, which uses magnetic field detection to measure wheel speed.
What is the overall length of the sensor?
The overall length of the CI Ignition XABS103 sensor is 68 mm.
What is the connector shape and number of poles?
It features a D-shaped connector with 2 poles (2-pin connector).
Troubleshooting
ABS warning light remains on after installation.
Double-check that the new sensor is fully seated and the electrical connector is securely attached. Inspect the wiring harness for any damage. Ensure the correct part number was installed for your vehicle. A diagnostic scan may be needed to clear fault codes or identify other issues.
Intermittent ABS or traction control faults.
This could indicate a loose connection or a damaged wire in the sensor's harness. Inspect the entire length of the cable from the sensor to the control module. Ensure the sensor is properly mounted and not vibrating excessively.
Vehicle speed displayed incorrectly on the speedometer.
While less common, an ABS sensor reading can sometimes influence speed displays. Confirm that the sensor is the correct type and model for your vehicle's specific application. Check other potential speed sensors if issues persist.

*Note: Professional installation by a qualified mechanic is recommended if you are unfamiliar with vehicle brake systems.*
Care:
ABS sensors are generally maintenance-free. However, keep the sensor and its connector area clean from excessive dirt, debris, or corrosive materials. Avoid direct spraying of high-pressure water or cleaning agents onto the sensor during routine vehicle washing.
