ABS sensors in Astana
The ABS sensor (wheel speed sensor) tells the control unit how fast each wheel is turning — ABS, ESP, traction control and, on many cars, the speedometer rely on this data. We select sensors by VIN taking axle and side into account: front and rear, left and right. Original and proven aftermarket in stock in Astana.
Prices and availability depend on your car — select it and we'll show the matching ABS sensors.

How an ABS sensor works
The sensor sits at the hub and reads the rotation of a target. Passive (inductive) sensors work with a toothed tone ring on the CV joint, hub or brake disc. Active (Hall-effect or magnetoresistive) sensors read a magnetic encoder ring, often built into the wheel bearing seal. Active sensors are more accurate and work down to very low speed, but the bearing must be fitted correctly — encoder side facing the sensor.
Signs of failure
The ABS light is on (often together with ESP), ABS kicks in at low speed or when braking on smooth tarmac, the speedometer doesn't work. A scanner usually shows a fault for a specific wheel. The cause isn't always the sensor itself: check the wiring and connector, metal debris on the tip, the air gap and the condition of the tone ring or encoder. There's no scheduled interval — the sensor is replaced based on diagnosis.
How to choose
Front and rear, left and right sensors differ in cable length, connector and body shape, and one model may have several variants depending on version and brake type. Select by VIN and the position from the fault code — we show original and aftermarket from Bosch, ATE, Hella, Febi and Metzger.

FAQ
Often yes, but read the fault code first: it shows which wheel and what exactly (open circuit, no signal). Sometimes cleaning the sensor or repairing the wiring is enough.
Normal brakes work, but ABS and ESP are disabled — the wheels may lock under emergency braking. Don't put off the repair, especially in winter.
On cars with active sensors the magnetic encoder is built into the bearing: if it's fitted the wrong way round or the ring is damaged, the sensor gets no signal.
