Product Details
HELLA 230040381 is engineered for vehicles that rely on precise front wheel speed input to manage anti-lock braking performance. The sensor uses an inductive design and a 2-pin connection, with a 1140 mm cable length to reach the factory mounting path on the front axle wheel side. This part cross-references Standard Ignition ALS141 for the same application. It is a direct-fit style replacement for 2001-2003 Ford Taurus, front left, and 2001-2003 Mercury Sable, front left, including ABS wheel speed sensor wire harness applications.
What This Sensor Helps Address
- ABS warning light caused by a failed front wheel speed sensor
- Erratic or missing wheel speed signal at the front left wheel
- Brake system instability during hard stops or low-traction braking
- Intermittent sensor signal from damaged wiring or connector wear
- Loss of proper ABS modulation on Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models
Installation Notes and Tips
Install at the front axle left position and route the harness along the original path to avoid strain or abrasion. The sensor includes a wiring harness and holder, and the 2-pin female connector should match the vehicle-side connection before installation. Assy/disassy by qualified personnel required. Verify fitment by year, make, model, and position before service.
