E46 ABS/DSC Wheel-Speed Sensors and Module Diagnosis
1999-2006 E46 ABS/ASC/DSC wheel-speed sensing. RWD/xi, early/late ABS versus DSC, axle, side and transmission can change the sensor.
WHERE TO BUY

Seller links checked . Prices and availability can change.
Scan the ABS/DSC module and compare live wheel speeds before ordering. Verify connector keying, axle/side, RWD/xi, ABS/ASC/DSC generation, production date and transmission. Inspect tone/encoder surfaces, wheel bearing play and wiring; a warning lamp does not prove the hydraulic/module unit failed.

Fitment
Scan the ABS/DSC module and compare live wheel speeds before ordering. Verify connector keying, axle/side, RWD/xi, ABS/ASC/DSC generation, production date and transmission. Inspect tone/encoder surfaces, wheel bearing play and wiring; a warning lamp does not prove the hydraulic/module unit failed.
Aftermarket options
ATE, Bosch, Bremi and selected aftermarket sensors are available by application. Module rebuilding can be appropriate only after power, ground, communication, sensor and hydraulic diagnosis.
Before you buy
ABS/ASC/DSC sensors differ by system, drivetrain, axle, side, production and sometimes transmission. Scan and inspect before buying. A lamp or code does not by itself condemn the control module. Brake-system diagnosis is safety-critical.
