- Other Numbers: 9650452180; 454916
Compatibility And Applications
Fits selected versions of Peugeot 307, Peugeot 607, Peugeot 807 and Citroén C8. Frequently listed in catalogs and searched by the Bosch reference 0265005290 and the alternative numbers above. Suitable for vehicles equipped with ESP/ABS systems that require kinetic/rotation input for stability control.
Function And Symptoms
The sensor supplies motion/kinetic information to the ESP/ABS control unit, enabling traction control and stability interventions. Common symptoms of a failing sensor include illumination of the ESP and/or ABS warning lights, loss of traction control, irregular braking behaviour under slippery conditions, or reduced vehicle stability interventions. Fault codes related to wheel speed, yaw, or lateral dynamic sensors may appear when the sensor malfunctions.
Installation
- Always disconnect the vehicle battery before starting work to avoid short circuits and electrical damage.
- Locate the faulty sensor (position depends on model and sensor type); access may require removal of trim, undertray, wheel arch liners or ABS module cover.
- Unplug the electrical connector and remove any retaining bolts or clips securing the sensor.
- Install the new sensor in the correct orientation, secure with the original fasteners to the manufacturer’s torque specification, and reconnect the electrical plug.
- Reassemble removed panels and reconnect the battery.
- After installation, perform a diagnostic scan and, where applicable, run the ESP/ABS sensor calibration or initialization procedure with a professional diagnostic tool to clear fault codes and restore full functionality.
Most Common Failure Causes
- Connector Corrosion Or Water Ingress Causing Intermittent Signals.
- Physical Damage From Road Debris Or Impact.
- Wiring Harness Wear, Chafing Or Broken Wires.
- Electrical Faults Or Degraded Internal Electronics Due To Age And Heat.
Recommendations For Installation
- Use Correct Fastener Torque And Follow The Vehicle Manufacturer’s Mechanical Procedures.
- Inspect And If Necessary Replace Damaged Wiring, Clips And Seals To Prevent Repeat Failures.
- Clean Connector Contacts; Use Suitable Dielectric Protectant If Required To Reduce Corrosion.
- Perform A Full Diagnostic Scan And Any Required Sensor Calibration Or Initialization With A Suitable Tool To Ensure Proper ESP/ABS Operation.
- Consider Replacing Related Mounting Hardware Or Seals If They Show Signs Of Corrosion Or Wear.
