Find the right ABS ring for your KIA Sephia, whether you drive a saloon or a hatchback. Our range covers reluctor rings suited to front-wheel-drive petrol models manufactured between...
A functioning ABS ring is a small yet crucial part of your KIA Sephia's safety system. At CVJoint24, we understand the importance of having the right drivetrain components, especially when it comes to parts that affect your car's braking performance and stability control. The KIA Sephia requires specific dimensions and tooth counts on its ABS rings to communicate accurately with the vehicle's sensors. We supply carefully selected rings that meet the technical requirements for this exact car model, giving you complete peace of mind with your purchase. Choosing the correct spare part is essential to preserve the car's original performance and safety standards.
The ABS ring, often called an ABS reluctor ring, is mounted on the CV joint and functions as an integral part of the anti-lock braking system. As the wheel turns, the teeth of the ring pass a magnetic sensor that sends electrical pulses to the car's electronic control unit. For your KIA Sephia, this means the system constantly knows the exact rotational speed of each wheel. If a wheel is about to lock up under heavy braking, the system detects this via the ABS ring and regulates the brake pressure accordingly. Without an intact ring, the system cannot function, which directly impairs the vehicle's handling and safety in critical road situations.
The most common problem with an ABS ring on cars like the KIA Sephia is corrosion or cracking. Because the ring is exposed to the elements, road dirt and grit, rust can develop underneath the ring and cause it to expand until it fractures. A clear indication of a fault is the ABS warning light illuminating on the dashboard. You may also notice the ABS kicking in and pulsing during ordinary braking at low speeds, even on dry tarmac. This often happens because the sensor receives false or interrupted signals from a damaged or corroded reluctor ring, misleading the system into thinking a wheel has locked up.
Selecting the right part for your KIA Sephia does not need to be complicated when you have the right tools. The most important details to verify are the tooth count on your existing ring and its inner diameter, as these specifications can vary depending on the model year and engine variant. The most reliable way to find the correct fit is to use our vehicle selector to choose your car's make, model and engine. By selecting your specific car, our catalogue filters the results so you only see the ABS rings that are fully compatible. This eliminates the risk of ordering the wrong part and ensures a smooth fit without unexpected surprises during fitting.
Feel free to check these exact pages for the same vehicle when working on the ABS ring:
When a drivetrain component shows signs of wear, neighbouring parts on the same car often require inspection as well. By comparing these exact pages for the KIA Sephia, it becomes much easier to determine whether the issue lies with the ABS ring itself or with an adjacent part of the transmission.
This is particularly relevant on models where vibrations, play and unusual noises can transfer symptoms across several parts in the same drivetrain. A quick check of related categories reduces the risk of replacing the correct component type while overlooking an adjacent part that contributes to the same problem.
By addressing multiple related issues at the same time, you save both time and money in the long run while restoring your car's overall reliability.

The most common symptoms are an illuminated ABS warning light or the brake pedal pulsating during light braking on dry tarmac. A visual inspection will often reveal cracks or severe corrosion on the ring.
On most KIA Sephia models, you can easily replace just the ABS ring if the CV joint itself is otherwise in good condition. This is a very cost-effective solution compared to replacing the whole joint.
No complex special tools are required, but the ring often needs to be gently heated to expand so it can be pressed into position on the CV joint. It is vital that the seating surface on the joint is thoroughly cleaned of rust before installation.
This is usually caused by corrosion developing on the CV joint underneath the ring. The expanding rust exerts immense outward pressure, eventually causing the metal ring to crack and distorting the tooth spacing.
Yes, if the ABS light is illuminated or the system does not function correctly during a brake test, the car will fail its roadworthiness inspection (MOT) as it is classed as a major safety defect.
