ABS Sensor Rear - Ci Ignition - XABS893

An ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) sensor is a crucial component that monitors the rotational speed of each wheel. This data is sent to the vehicle's ABS control module, which uses it to prevent wheel lock-up during hard braking, allowing the driver to maintain steering control.

Common signs include the ABS warning light illuminating on your dashboard, a pulsing brake pedal during normal braking, or the vehicle pulling to one side when braking. A diagnostic scan will often reveal specific fault codes related to the ABS sensor.

This Ci Ignition XABS893 sensor is compatible with Land Rover Discovery Mk II models manufactured from November 1998 to June 2004. Always double-check your vehicle's specific model year and compare the part number with your vehicle's requirements.

Passive ABS sensors generate their own voltage signal based on the rotation of a toothed ring. Active ABS sensors require a constant power supply from the vehicle and often provide a digital signal. This Ci Ignition XABS893 is a passive type sensor.

The 500 mm cable length refers to the integrated wiring harness that connects the sensor itself to the vehicle's main wiring harness. This length is designed to be sufficient for proper routing and connection during installation.

While possible for individuals with automotive experience and the correct tools, ABS sensor installation requires precision. It is highly recommended to have a qualified mechanic perform the installation to ensure it is done correctly and safely, preventing potential damage or improper function.

The fitting depth of 20 mm indicates how far the sensor protrudes or inserts into its mounting location on the vehicle's hub or axle assembly. This measurement is critical for ensuring the sensor is correctly positioned relative to the wheel's speed ring.

This could indicate a fault with the ABS sensor, wiring, or the ABS control module. Have the vehicle scanned with a diagnostic tool to retrieve specific fault codes, which will help pinpoint the problem. Ensure the sensor is correctly installed and connected.

Check the sensor's connection for corrosion or looseness. Inspect the wiring harness for any damage, kinks, or breaks. A dirty sensor tip can also cause issues; carefully clean the sensor and its mounting point (ensure the vehicle is off and the battery is disconnected).

This symptom can be related to a faulty ABS sensor on one wheel, causing an imbalance in the braking system. Verify the diagnostic codes and consider replacing the sensor on the affected side.

Confirm that the correct part number was installed and that it is compatible with your vehicle's model year. Ensure the sensor is seated correctly and the connector is fully engaged. A diagnostic scan may be necessary to clear old fault codes or confirm a new issue.
