Delphi SS21816 ABS Wheel Speed Sensor - Front Right

ABS Wheel Speed Sensor Overview

Delphi SS21816 is an ABS wheel speed sensor built for direct replacement service on select Ford applications. It is engineered with OE development and validation methods, and it uses OE-standard testing and calibration to support accurate wheel speed readings.

Key Features

• ABS wheel speed sensor for brake system signal monitoring
• Wiring harness included for a complete sensor assembly
• Black connector with oval shape and 2-pin male terminals
• 1565 mm wiring harness length for proper routing
• Mounting hardware not included
• Delphi SS21816 part number for ordering and identification

Detailed Description

This Delphi ABS wheel speed sensor is designed for the front right position and is compatible with 1998-2009 Ford Ranger, 2001-2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and 2001-2003 Ford Explorer Sport. The SS21816 is built to deliver accurate wheel speed input to the ABS system, which is critical for stable brake control and fault-free operation. Delphi tests and calibrates its sensors to OE standards, helping maintain consistent signal quality and reduce repeat repairs. If you are replacing a worn or damaged sensor on a Ford Ranger, Explorer Sport Trac, or Explorer Sport, SS21816 provides a fitment-specific replacement option. This part cross-references Standard Ignition ALS49 for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Restoring ABS wheel speed signal output after sensor failure
• Addressing ABS warning lights caused by signal loss or irregular readings
• Replacing a damaged connector, harness, or sensor body
• Correcting brake system faults related to inaccurate wheel speed data

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front right fitment before installation and compare the connector shape, terminal count, and harness length to the original part. Inspect the wheel speed sensor mounting area and related wiring for corrosion, abrasion, or damage before installing the replacement. Delphi SS21816 includes the sensor and instruction sheet; mounting hardware is not included.

Quality Assurance

Delphi validates and calibrates its sensors to OE standards to support accurate readings and reduce comebacks. Part number SS21816 is backed by Delphi's OE-focused sensor development and testing process.
