Delphi SS21383 ABS Wheel Speed Sensor - Front

Delphi Front ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

Delphi SS21383 is a front ABS wheel speed sensor for select Ford Explorer, Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and Mercury Mountaineer applications. It uses a threaded mounting style with a round, 1-connector, 2-terminal male connection for a direct replacement on the listed vehicles.

Key Features

• Front ABS wheel speed sensor for the listed Ford and Mercury applications
• Threaded terminal type with 1 round connector
• 2-terminal male connector and male terminal design
• Package includes the ABS wheel speed sensor and instruction sheet
• Built to OE standards for accurate wheel speed signal output
• Delphi part number SS21383

Detailed Description

Delphi SS21383 is an ABS wheel speed sensor engineered for front-position use on 2006-2010 Ford Explorer, 2007-2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and 2007-2010 Mercury Mountaineer models. As a critical input for the anti-lock braking system, this sensor monitors wheel speed and sends the signal needed for ABS operation and related stability functions. Delphi validates and calibrates its sensors to OE standards to help maintain accurate readings and reduce repeat repairs. This part cross-references Standard Ignition ALS1715 for the same application.

What This Sensor Helps Address

• ABS warning light caused by a failing front wheel speed sensor
• Erratic or missing wheel speed signal data
• ABS activation concerns during braking
• Traction control or stability system faults tied to wheel speed input
• Brake system diagnostic trouble codes related to the front sensor circuit

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the connector style, threaded mounting point, and front position before installation. Inspect the wheel hub area, wiring, and connector terminals for corrosion or damage before replacing the sensor. Confirm the vehicle application by year, make, model, and position: Fits 2006-2010 Ford Explorer, front; Fits 2007-2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, front; Fits 2007-2010 Mercury Mountaineer, front.

Quality Assurance

Delphi backs this sensor with OE-focused development and product validation methods. Each sensor is tested and calibrated to OE standards to support accurate wheel speed readings and consistent braking-system performance.
