Purpose and compatibility

The presented sensor is designed for rear axle installation in BMW G01/F97 (X3) and G02/F98 (X4) models equipped with an automatic transmission. The vehicle placement has been factory-optimized for correct signal reading from the pulse ring, allowing the ABS controller to process data quickly and reliably.

By maintaining factory electrical and geometric parameters, the sensor works with the original wiring harness and control modules without the need for system modifications.

Function in the ABS and stabilization systems

The rear wheel ABS speed sensor is responsible for generating a signal proportional to the wheel's rotational speed, which is then sent to the ABS/DSC system controller. Based on this data, the system:

• regulates pressure in the brake circuits, preventing wheel lock-up during braking,
• supports the operation of electronic stability control and traction control systems,
• enables the proper functioning of features related to brake force distribution.

A functional sensor in this area has a direct impact on driving safety, especially on slippery surfaces and during emergency braking.

Technical characteristics and installation

As an item in the ABS speed sensor category, the component is designed for stable operation in harsh operating conditions – near the wheel hub, where temperature fluctuations, moisture, and road debris occur. The housing and connector are adapted to the factory mounting points in the BMW G01/F97 and G02/F98, which facilitates installation and minimizes the risk of installation errors.

In practice, the replacement involves removing the worn sensor, cleaning the mounting socket, and connecting the new component to the original harness. Maintaining proper cable routing and correct seating in the socket is crucial for long-term, stable system operation.

Condition of the item and benefits of choosing a used part

The offered sensor is a used item, sourced from dismantling, which allows for an economical repair of the ABS system while maintaining original BMW specifications. Compared to low-quality aftermarket replacements, using an OEM component reduces the risk of incorrect readings, controller errors, and compatibility issues.

Before installation, computer diagnostics and verification of compatibility by OEM number and vehicle model are recommended to ensure full integration with the existing installation.

Technical support and selecting the right sensor

When selecting used electronic and measurement components, such as wheel speed sensors, it is crucial to check compatibility by part number, body version, and transmission type.
