TechASSIST: Product Support and Information

Wheel speed sensors are fundamental to modern vehicle safety. They: Detect individual wheel speeds in real time Enable ABS, reducing braking distance and preventing wheel lockup Support traction and stability control, especially in low grip conditions Feed data to advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) Allow hill-start assist, torque vectoring, and auto emergency braking (AEB) A faulty or inaccurate sensor can disable these systems and trigger dashboard warnings, increasing safety risks and MOT failure likelihood.

Why Do They Fail?

Wheel speed sensors operate in challenging environments near the hub and brakes. Failure may be caused by:

  • Physical damage from debris, corrosion, or poor routing

  • Broken wiring due to vibration or fatigue

  • Contamination on magnetic rings or encoder wheels

  • Sensor burnout, especially in active (powered) sensors

  • Incorrect air gap, caused by wear or misalignment

  • Faulty reluctor/trigger ring, especially in rust-prone applications

Symptoms of a Failing Wheel Speed Sensor

  • ABS or traction control warning light illuminated

  • ABS kicks in too early or doesn't engage at all

  • Speedometer fluctuation or inoperative (some vehicles)

  • Loss of hill-start assist or cruise control

  • Unstable braking behaviour, especially in wet or icy conditions

  • Intermittent fault codes, often triggered by wiring breaks or corrosion

Fitting Tips

  1. Always inspect wiring and connectors for signs of chafing, corrosion, or breakage

  2. Compare sensor type (active vs. passive) — the wrong type may not generate signal

  3. Check and clean the reluctor or magnetic encoder ring

  4. Use dielectric grease on connectors where appropriate

  5. Clear fault codes and road test, as some systems require learning cycles to restore full function
