ABS rings for Daewoo Kalos
The Daewoo Kalos is a compact and reliable car that relies on fully functioning safety systems to maintain its roadholding and safety. The ABS ring, often called an ABS reluctor ring, is a critical component of the car's anti-lock braking system. On a Daewoo Kalos, these rings are fitted to the CV joints and are exposed daily to moisture, road salt and road grime. Over time, this can lead to corrosion that causes the ring to crack or lose its magnetic properties. Replacing a defective ABS ring is a cost-effective solution compared to replacing the entire constant velocity joint, provided the joint itself is still in good working order. We supply parts specifically designed to meet the exact technical requirements of your Kalos.
What does an ABS ring do on a Daewoo Kalos?
The ABS ring on your Daewoo Kalos plays a central role in the car's active safety. It is a toothed ring that rotates in time with the wheel. An ABS sensor is mounted directly adjacent to the ring, reading the teeth as they pass. This information is sent to the car's engine control unit (ECU), which calculates the rotational speed of the wheel. If the system detects that a wheel is about to lock up during braking, the ABS system modulates the brake pressure to prevent skidding and maintain steering control. Without an intact ABS ring, the system cannot receive accurate data, causing the anti-lock brakes to stop functioning and making the car far harder to control during emergency braking.
Common signs of wear
The most common sign of a cracked or damaged ABS ring on a Daewoo Kalos is that the ABS warning light illuminates on the dashboard. The fault is often intermittent at first, with the light coming on and going off depending on the weather conditions or road speed. Another distinct symptom is a pulsating brake pedal or unwanted ABS intervention during completely normal low-speed braking on dry tarmac. This is usually caused by corrosion building up underneath the ring, splitting it and altering the spacing between the teeth at the crack. The sensor misinterprets this gap as a locked wheel, triggering the system unnecessarily. A visual inspection will often reveal heavy rust or an obvious split in the ring.
How to choose the correct ABS ring
When purchasing a replacement ABS ring for your Daewoo Kalos, it is essential to check the tooth count and the internal diameter of the ring. Different engine options and model years can feature minor variations in drivetrain specifications. The most reliable way to find the correct part is to select your car's make, model and engine in our vehicle picker. If you verify the dimensions manually, make sure to check whether the ring fits an outer CV joint on your Daewoo Kalos and has the exact number of teeth to match the vehicle's sensor calibration. An incorrect ring with the wrong tooth count will provide false speed signals, leaving the ABS system inactive even after replacement.
Related parts to check
Feel free to check these specific pages for the same vehicle when working on your ABS rings:
When one drivetrain component shows signs of wear, it is common practice to inspect neighbouring components on the car as well. By checking these matching pages for the Daewoo Kalos, it becomes easier to determine whether the fault lies strictly with the ABS ring or another related part of the drivetrain.
This is especially important on models where vibrations, play and strange noises can transfer symptoms across several parts in the same drivetrain assembly. A quick inspection of related categories reduces the risk of replacing the right type of part while overlooking a connected component that contributes to the problem.

Frequently asked questions about ABS rings for Daewoo Kalos
Can I drive my Daewoo Kalos if the ABS warning light is on?
Yes, the car can still be driven and the conventional brakes will work, but the anti-lock braking system (ABS) is deactivated. This increases the risk of skidding under hard braking, and the vehicle will fail its roadworthiness inspection (MOT) while the light is illuminated.
Why do ABS rings crack on the Daewoo Kalos?
This is usually caused by corrosion. Rust builds up between the CV joint and the ABS ring, and because rust expands, it creates pressure from within that eventually causes the ring to crack.
Do I have to replace the entire CV joint if the ABS ring is broken?
No, on a Daewoo Kalos you can often replace just the ABS ring if the CV joint is otherwise in good condition. This is a much more cost-effective option than replacing the complete joint.
How many teeth does an ABS ring have on a Daewoo Kalos?
The tooth count can vary depending on the model year and engine variant. It is therefore essential to count the teeth on the old ring or select your vehicle make, model and engine to find the exact match.
Do I need specialist tools to replace the ABS reluctor ring?
No advanced specialist tools are required, but you typically need to heat the new ring gently so that it expands, allowing it to be pressed securely into place onto the CV joint.
