It is sold as a single sensor. Easy Life Markets offers it to owners of these big Mercedes saloons and coupes who are chasing an ABS, ESP or BAS warning that a scan tool has pinned on a front wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn a car like this, the wheel speed signal is used by far more than the anti-lock brakes. Stability control, traction control and brake assist all read the same four sensors, which is why one failed unit can light several warnings at once and make the car feel as if something serious has gone wrong. Usually it has not.

On the original parts, two numbers normally mean a separate left and right item, which can differ in lead routing.

When you fit the new one, make sure the lead is clipped in every holder and cannot touch the brake disc or the tyre at full lock.
