Ford 1090645 – ABS Wheel Speed Sensor is a sensor designed to monitor the rotational speed of a vehicle’s wheel. This information is critical for the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) to function, helping to prevent wheel lock during braking by adjusting brake pressure. The sensor typically mounts near the wheel hub and reads speed data from a toothed ring or tone wheel attached to the axle or hub.
This particular unit is identified by the part number 1090645 and is compatible with Ford vehicles specified by that code. When sourcing this sensor, compare the physical connector, sensor design, and mounting points against your original part to ensure compatibility. This listing does not guarantee coding, calibration, or fault repair functions, so these aspects might require professional attention during installation.
The ABS wheel speed sensorโs role is integral to ABS functionality and vehicle safety systems. If you experience ABS warning lights or inconsistent braking behavior, inspecting or replacing this sensor could be necessary. Confirm your vehicleโs requirements and part details carefully before purchase to avoid fitment issues.
