Extended Product Information
FAQs
What does an ABS wheel speed sensor do?
It measures the rotational speed of a wheel and sends this data to the vehicle's Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) control module. This allows the ABS to prevent wheel lock-up during emergency braking.
What are the symptoms of a failing ABS wheel speed sensor?
Common symptoms include the ABS warning light illuminating on the dashboard, the ABS system not engaging during hard braking, or the vehicle exhibiting longer stopping distances.
Is this sensor a direct fit for my car?
This sensor (Ci Ignition XABS174) is designed as a direct replacement for specific Citroën and Peugeot models. Please verify the OEM part numbers listed (CITROËN 454535, 454547, etc., and PEUGEOT 454535, 454547) match your vehicle's original part number.
What is the difference between a passive and an active ABS sensor?
Passive sensors generate their own voltage signal based on wheel speed using magnetic principles. Active sensors require a power supply and typically provide a digital signal, often offering higher precision.
Can I install this myself?
While possible for experienced DIY mechanics, installation often requires lifting the vehicle, removing wheels, and working in tight spaces. Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct fitment and function.
What is the cable length of this sensor?
The cable length for this sensor is 500 mm.
What is the fitting depth?
The fitting depth of this sensor is 28 mm.
Troubleshooting
ABS warning light remains illuminated after installation.
Verify the sensor is fully seated and the connector is securely attached. Check for any physical damage to the sensor or wiring. Ensure the correct part number for your vehicle's make and model was used. A diagnostic scan may be needed to clear fault codes.
Intermittent ABS activation or poor performance.
Inspect the sensor's mounting point for corrosion or debris. Ensure the cable is not pinched or damaged. The wheel bearing or hub assembly should also be checked for play, as this can affect sensor readings.
Vehicle does not recognize the new sensor.
Double-check compatibility with your specific vehicle's VIN. Ensure the electrical connector is clean and free of obstructions. Some vehicles may require a reset procedure after sensor replacement; consult your vehicle's service manual.

Installation:
Installation of an ABS wheel speed sensor typically requires lifting the vehicle, removing the wheel, and locating the sensor near the wheel hub. It often involves disconnecting the old sensor's electrical connector and unbolting the sensor itself. The new sensor is then fitted, ensuring the correct orientation and seating depth (28 mm fitting depth), and the cable is routed appropriately (500 mm cable length). A 2-pin connector is used for the electrical connection.
*Professional installation is strongly recommended due to the need for specialized tools and knowledge to avoid damage and ensure correct function.*
Care:
Wheel speed sensors are generally maintenance-free. However, keeping the area around the wheel hub clean can prevent debris from interfering with the sensor's operation. Avoid using high-pressure water directly on the sensor or its connector.
Note: Ensure the vehicle's ignition is off before disconnecting or connecting the sensor.
