Standard Ignition ABS Wheel Speed Sensor P/N:ALS451
Keep your anti-lock braking and traction-control systems reading wheel speed accurately with the Standard Ignition ABS Wheel Speed Sensor ALS417. It installs as a front wheel speed sensor for the 1999 Audi A6 [All] and 1999 Audi A6 Quattro [All], both of which use two of these sensors per vehicle.
The wheel speed sensor generates a signal the ABS control module uses to detect wheel lock-up and modulate braking. Signs this part may need replacing include an illuminated ABS or traction-control warning light, or ABS/traction-control features dropping out. Because those symptoms can have other causes, diagnose the fault before replacing. If a failed front wheel speed sensor is the cause, this replaces it. These applications use two sensors, so order two for a complete front-axle set.
Manufacturer part number: ALS417.
What does this ABS wheel speed sensor do?
It monitors how fast the wheel is turning and sends that signal to the ABS and traction-control module, which uses it to detect wheel lock-up and modulate braking.
What vehicles does the ALS417 fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1999 Audi A6 [All] and 1999 Audi A6 Quattro [All]. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your vehicle.
Is this a front or rear sensor?
The catalog lists this ALS417 as a front ABS wheel speed sensor for the listed applications.
How many sensors do I need?
The listed applications use two of these sensors per vehicle, so order two for a complete front-axle replacement.
What are signs this sensor may need replacing?
An illuminated ABS or traction-control warning light or those features dropping out can be signs. Diagnose the fault first, since these symptoms can have other causes.
