Hella 230048171 ABS Wheel Speed Sensor OE-Quality Replacement

The Hella 230048171 is an OE-quality ABS wheel speed sensor (also referred to as a wheel speed sensor or ABS sensor) engineered to deliver accurate, reliable wheel speed data to your vehicle's safety systems. Built to the same standards as original equipment, this sensor provides a direct, like-for-like replacement for the factory unit.

The ABS wheel speed sensor is a passive, inductive sensor mounted directly above the pulse wheel at the wheel hub or drive shaft. As the pulse wheel rotates, changes in the magnetic field induce a measurable alternating voltage in the sensor winding — a signal whose frequency and amplitude correspond directly to wheel speed. That data is then fed to the ABS control unit, which uses it to prevent wheel lockup during braking and to support stability and traction control systems.

Key Features:

• Direct OE-specification replacement — engineered to match original factory fit and performance
• Inductive passive design operates without a separate power supply
• Feeds wheel speed data to ABS, ESC/ESP, traction control, and hill-start assist systems
• Durable construction designed to withstand heat, vibration, and road contamination
• Plug-and-play connector for straightforward installation with no modification required
• Manufactured by Hella, a global OEM supplier with over a century of automotive electronics expertise

Replacing a failed ABS wheel speed sensor restores proper operation of your anti-lock braking system and related safety systems, clearing ABS warning lights and ensuring accurate wheel speed monitoring. The Hella 230048171 delivers the confidence of OEM-grade quality in an aftermarket-ready package.
