Why do I need a speed sensor code?
The normal reasons to get a speed sensor code is a break in the wiring to the sensor due to age and the motion the wiring goes through as the vehicle moves or the connectors get corroded and the sensor signal cannot get to the ABS control module. helpful? Hi and thank you for your reply.
What to do if ABS wheel speed sensor goes out?
If the ABS wheel speed sensor was faulty, once the new hub/sensor is installed, and you drive the vehicle, the warning lights should go out. To determine what is going on, you can manually erase the trouble codes using an appropriate scan tool and if the warning lights stay off, then the problem is resolved.
What happens when the WSS sensor reads zero mph?
If the circuit suddenly goes open or shows a jump in resistance, you’ve found the fault. If one of the WSS PIDs reads zero mph and the other three are reading vehicle speed, the fault is a bad sensor or a fault in the sensor wiring circuit (keep reading for information on how to check the sensor itself).
How does the scan tool work on a wheel speed sensor?
The scan tool will display a speed input in miles per hour (mph) for each wheel speed sensor. Most wheel speed sensors (except for the latest generation of “active” WSS sensors) won’t generate a readable signal until a vehicle is traveling 3 to 5 mph or faster.
What is the code for left front wheel speed sensor?
Code C0035 may be set when the car’s anti-lock brake module perceives a fault with the left front wheel speed sensor or its circuit. Wheel speed sensors are installed in your car to determine how fast each wheel is turning.

When to set plausibility code on WSS sensor?
On some newer vehicles, “plausibility” codes may also be set if the speed reading of any WSS sensor differs from the vehicle speed sensor by more than 3 to 5 mph.
