Standard Ignition ABS Wheel Speed Sensor P/N:ALS451
Keep your ABS reading wheel speed accurately with the Standard Ignition ABS Wheel Speed Sensor ALS420. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the rear position on the 1996-1997 Volkswagen Passat, restoring the signal the anti-lock brake system relies on to track how fast the wheel is turning.
An ABS wheel speed sensor is a wear- and contamination-prone component; because the same symptoms can stem from wiring, a damaged tone ring, or the control module, diagnose the cause before replacing. When the rear sensor is confirmed faulty, ALS420 provides a clean-fit swap to return the correct wheel-speed input to the brake system.
Interchange: Manufacturer part number ALS420.
What does this sensor do?

Should I diagnose before installing this part?
