The "FRONT ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM WHEEL SPEED SENSOR ASSEMBLY FOR TESLA MODEL S 2012 - 2016 6009167 - 00 - A" is an important component of the Tesla Model S's anti-lock braking system (ABS), which is used to monitor the rotation speed of the front wheels and transmit speed signals to the ABS control unit to ensure the normal operation of the vehicle's braking safety system. Here is a detailed introduction:
Function and Importance: The wheel speed sensor assembly can accurately measure the rotation speed of the wheels and convert it into an electrical signal for transmission to the ABS or ESP control unit. The control unit determines whether the wheels are locked according to these signals and adjusts the braking force in a timely manner to prevent the wheels from locking during braking, thereby ensuring the vehicle's steering ability and stability, and improving driving safety.
Compatibility: This sensor assembly is suitable for Tesla Model S models from 2012 to 2016, which can well match the vehicle's original electrical and mechanical systems and ensure reliable operation.
Replacement and Installation: When replacing the front ABS wheel speed sensor assembly, it is necessary to first disconnect the electrical harness from the sensor connector, then remove the bolts fixing the sensor to the knuckle, and then remove the sensor from the vehicle. When installing, install the sensor in place in the reverse order of removal, tighten the bolts to the specified torque, and finally connect the electrical harness. The torque for fixing the sensor to the knuckle is 5 Nm (3.7 lbs - ft). After installation, a test drive is required at a minimum speed of 40 kph (25 mph) in a straight line for at least five seconds to complete the internal system check of the ESP.
Market Situation: In the aftermarket, there are various brands of replacement sensor assemblies available, such as the sensor assembly from EV Parts Online, which is priced at $169.99 and can be used as a replacement for part numbers 1037794 - 00 - B and 103779400B. There are also used original parts available in the market, such as the front right wheel ABS speed sensor from Partslinkent, with a price of $27.98, which is in good working condition and is suitable for 2012 - 2016 Tesla Model S 85 RWD models.
