Product Information
Porsche Front ABS Sensor
Sold each - 2 required per car (fits left or right)
The Front ABS Sensor is a critical safety
component fitted to selected Porsche 928, Porsche 944 and Porsche 968 models.
Designed to continuously monitor wheel speed, the ABS sensor sends real-time
data to the vehicle's Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) control unit, allowing the
system to detect potential wheel lock-up during braking and respond
accordingly.

By accurately measuring wheel rotation, the ABS sensor helps
the braking system maintain steering control and vehicle stability during
emergency braking situations. A correctly functioning ABS sensor is essential
for ensuring the ABS system can operate effectively and deliver the safety
performance Porsche originally engineered into the vehicle.
As these vehicles age, ABS sensors can become damaged by
corrosion, contamination, wiring faults or general wear. Replacing a faulty
sensor helps restore correct ABS functionality and improves overall braking
system reliability.
What Does an ABS Sensor Do?
The ABS sensor, often referred to as a wheel speed sensor,
monitors the rotational speed of each wheel and sends this information to the
ABS control module.
During braking, the ABS system compares wheel speeds and
detects if one wheel is slowing significantly faster than the others,
indicating potential lock-up. The control unit then rapidly adjusts brake
pressure to maintain traction and steering control.
A properly functioning ABS sensor helps provide:
Accurate
wheel speed monitoring
Effective
anti-lock braking performance
Improved
vehicle stability under braking
Enhanced
steering control during emergency stops
Reliable
ABS system operation
Increased
driver confidence and safety
Symptoms of ABS Sensor Wear or Failure
ABS sensors operate in harsh conditions and are exposed to
moisture, road debris, vibration and temperature changes. Over time, they can
become contaminated, damaged or electrically faulty.
Common symptoms of a failing ABS sensor include:
- ABS
warning light illuminated
Intermittent
- ABS fault warnings
- ABS
system inoperative
- Fault
codes stored in the ABS control unit
- Unexpected
ABS activation at low speeds
- Loss
of anti-lock braking functionality
