ABS Speed Sensor – WHT 003 857A (OEM)

Description

The ABS Speed Sensor WHT003857A is a genuine-spec wheel speed sensor engineered for select Volkswagen and Audi models. Mounted at the wheel hub, it continuously monitors individual wheel rotation and delivers a precise signal to the ABS/ESP control unit. As a result, safety-critical systems — including anti-lock braking, traction control, and electronic stability control — respond accurately under all driving conditions.

When a wheel speed sensor begins to fail, it commonly triggers ABS/ESP warning lights, disables cruise control, or causes inconsistent traction control behavior. In addition, related fault codes may store in the control module. Replacing the worn unit with this direct-fit ABS Speed Sensor WHT003857A restores precise wheel-speed feedback and brings your vehicle’s safety systems back to full factory operation.
