NTK AB0835 ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

The NTK AB0835 is a direct OE replacement ABS wheel speed sensor engineered to restore proper anti-lock brake system, traction control, and stability control function. Also catalogued under NTK item number 71682, this sensor is manufactured by NTK — the sensors division of NGK, the world's largest OE oxygen and sensor supplier.

How It Works:

The ABS wheel speed sensor continuously monitors the rotational speed of the wheel and transmits an analog or digital signal to the ABS control module (ECU/ECM). The ECU uses this data to detect imminent wheel lock-up during braking and modulates brake pressure accordingly — preventing skids and helping maintain steering control. This sensor also feeds data to traction control and electronic stability control systems.

Key Features:

• OE-Matched Design: Manufactured to original equipment performance standards — connectors, mounts, and wire harness lengths are an exact match to OE specifications for a trouble-free, no-modification installation
• Glass-Reinforced Plastic Housing: Provides superior contamination resistance compared to standard plastic housings, extending service life in harsh under-vehicle environments
• Weather Pack Connectors: Sealed connectors prevent dirt and moisture intrusion, protecting the electrical connection long-term
• Heavier Wire Insulation: Delivers longer component life versus OE wiring, resisting heat, abrasion, and chemical exposure
• Hardware Included: All necessary brackets, mounting hardware, and grease are included where applicable
• Direct Plug-and-Play: Application-specific harness length ensures correct routing without cutting or splicing

Common Replacement Indicators:

• ABS warning lamp illuminated on the dash
• Brake system warning light active
• No ABS function or erratic ABS activation
• Traction control or stability control system faults

The NTK AB0835 is rigorously tested to meet or exceed OE specifications, making it a reliable, long-lasting replacement for a worn or failed wheel speed sensor.
