One sensor comes in the pack. Easy Life Markets sells it for owners who have an ABS or traction warning on the dash and a fault code that points to one of the rear wheels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe E46 is now old enough that rear sensors fail regularly. The sensor sits in the rear hub carrier where it is heated by the brake, soaked by road water and shaken for years, and the lead becomes brittle. When the signal drops out, the car disables the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Anti-lock_braking_system\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eanti-lock braking system\u003c\/a\u003e and the stability functions that depend on it.
