Thread: Rear ABS sensor wiring - different lengths?

I think I have found the answer. The part number for the rear sensor with the short lead is TAR100070:






However, it states that:

This part has been superseded by #SSW500030

Not sure how they figure that it is a suitable replacement given the differences...

And Brit-Car have available a replacement, part number TAR100070R (add an 'R' on the end) < TAR100070R | BRAKE SENSOR | Bearmach | | Britcar (UK) Ltd >:




It's pattern and manufacturered by Bearmach though...

Pretty sure the later replacements do away with the plug as this can also cause problems, the replacement leads should come with terminals to fit to the wires.


I have bought replacement terminals from ashdown and ingrams and have a heap spare if you live in brissy can give you some.

So the long lead units, does the lead run all the way back through the cabin to the ABS computer unit then?

Yes, a pain to fit and route but worth doing to eliminate all the possibilities

For the sake of completeness for anyone using this thread as a reference in the future, I can advise of the following additional part numbers:

original front sensors - TAR100060 - This part has been superseded by #SSW500020 - I am not sure of what the difference is

For those using the short wire rear sensors that want to replace the rest of the wiring:

YMD501770 - ABS SPEED SENSOR WIRE LHR DISCO11

YMD501780 - ABS SPEED SENSOR WIRE RHR DISCO11

What I have still not found is the replacement front wiring - i.e. that goes from the SLABS ECU to the connection plug in the engine bay where the front ABS sensors connect to it. Unless that is perhaps integrated as part of the main engine bay wiring hardness.

scott, you can now get what is called a short overlay harness from lr, it is the plug from the inner guard engine bay back to the ecu. they are different lengths l and r, and genuine only $80. i fitted one this week will try and dig out part number for you. ordered through tilfords got it overnight so must be a good selling part

Thanks JC. Alternatively I thought just fit the long wire sensor from the rear.
