Extended ABS Sensors?

[CORover]

Is there such a thing? Are any others compatible? I rerouted the fronts and have just enough slack, but I need a little more in the back, have not looked at new routing though.

As long as they fall in the 950-1100 Ohm range they should work.

Yes I am keeping ABS, at least until it's a trailer queen and that is not happening.

That's funny, I just ordered a set an hour ago for my D2 https://expeditionexchange.com/shop...brication-disco2-abs-extension-kit-abs&page=2

I'm not sure about the D1 though.

 

[CORover]

I will have to call, the connectors look the same.

On a D2 it's a snap = install front ABS sensors on the rear = longer and no more issues.

On a DI you can put the rear sensors on the front and get extra length.

Yep.

The rears are longer in the back on mine. I will take a look at routing and see what I can come up with in back, and them measure to see what I need for the front to see if a set from the rear solves that issue.

John at EE said he has never tried them on an early disco.

96 is early?

I used many rear ABS sensors in front of D1/RRC. They typically suffer less from non-stress-relieved repeated cable bending at the sensor.

96 is early?

OK, Mid?

 

[CORover]

Are the ones in back the same length side to side like in front, or are they staggered?

 

[CORover]

I don't need three feet longer, but this is on the right track.

I opted for the extensions as I didn't want to disturb the ABS sensors (hubs and sensors are supplied together, and shouldn't be separated... according to the manual, anyway), and it's going to be a lot easier to simply plug extensions in.

No, they are different IIRC. Nice find on these cable extensions.

You search for Wabco 2 pin ABS sensor and lots of stuff pops up. It was an industry standard not just a LR thing. Not sure what works and what doesn't, but I may try an extension, ohm it out and see what happens.

On my D2 I was able to reroute all 4 of my factory sensors to get enough length for a 4" lift.

I'm not sure about the D1 though.

I looked more closely at the inside of the right angle connector on the EE site. It looks like these should work. The sensors are different between the 2 vehicles, but the connectors look to be the same Wabco 2 pin standard. I think EE has never tried these on other vehicles and did not want to make a suggestion to try them. They are available cheaper elsewhere but the shortest I have found so far is 4 feet.

Shortest I could find elsewhere was 15 feet. Lucky8 also sells a set for half the price, but it doesn’t mention if they are wabco made or not.

This is interesting. I might give these a shot next time mine decide to go dead. Thanks for the link!

No problem. Type or click on Meritor Wabco on that site to narrow down your results. Must have been a merger or acquisition.

The Lucky 8 ones are Wabco. I just installed a set on my D2.
