The sensor’s rectangular female connector, blade terminals, and compact harness length support a straightforward electrical connection in the front wheel speed circuit.

Common Issues This Sensor May Address

• ABS warning light illuminated on the dash
• Wheel speed signal loss at the front axle
• Traction control or stability control faults tied to wheel speed input
• Intermittent ABS operation during braking
• Diagnostic trouble codes related to front wheel speed sensor performance

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the connector shape, terminal count, and harness length before installation. Inspect the wheel hub area, tone ring, and wiring path for damage or corrosion, since those conditions can affect sensor readings even after replacement. Verify the sensor seats correctly and route the harness away from moving suspension components.

Quality Assurance

NTK draws on more than 80 years of automotive experience and OE sensor development. AB1087 is tested under thermal shock, vibration, and OBD verification conditions to support consistent performance in front ABS applications.
