BMW i3 Front ABS Sensor – 34 52 6 865 794
This wheel speed (ABS) sensor reads the speed of the front wheel on the BMW i3 and sends the signal to the ABS, traction control and stability systems. It fits either side of the front axle and is sold singly.
A failing sensor usually brings on the ABS or stability warning lights, can make traction control cut in at the wrong moment and may affect regenerative braking. Damage often comes from corrosion at the connector or a cable that has been chafed or pulled during other work.
