Standard Ignition ABS Wheel Speed Sensor P/N:ALS3168
Feed your anti-lock brake module the wheel-speed signal it relies on with the Standard ABS Wheel Speed Sensor, part number ALS497, a front-position sensor that bolts to the spindle. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1998-2001 Ford Explorer, the 2002-2009 Ford Ranger and the 2001-2009 Mazda B2300, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
The sensor monitors wheel rotation and sends that speed signal to the ABS control module. Standard designs it with application-specific engineering and, as a global manufacturer, keeps complete control over its manufacturing process.
Cataloged position: front / front left. The sensor bolts to the spindle. Mounting hardware and a dust shield are not included. The quantity needed varies by application: some listed vehicles use two and others use one. Country of origin: Thailand.
Signs this sensor may need replacing include an illuminated ABS warning light, a stored wheel-speed sensor fault code, or erratic ABS activation. Other faults can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing the sensor.
