What is abs/wheel speed sensor replacement?
Replacing a faulty wheel speed sensor brings back ABS and stability control.
Each wheel has a speed sensor that feeds the ABS and traction systems. Damaged wiring, dirt or a failed sensor turns on warning lights and disables these safety features.
Signs you need it
- ABS or traction warning light on
- Speedometer drops out
- ABS activates at low speed
How it works
- Scan for fault codes
- Test the sensor and wiring
- Replace the sensor
- Clear codes and test drive
You can choose a workshop visit or have a professional come to your home, work or depot.
How much does it cost?
The exact price depends on your vehicle and the job. On MYLES, each professional shows a fixed price, a starting price, a range, or sends a quote — so you can compare like for like before you book.
- Sensor price
- Seized sensor removal
- Wiring or tone ring repairs
Tips
- Get warning lights scanned rather than guessed
- Ask whether the tone ring is damaged too
Why it matters
Important: ABS faults can fail a WOF and reduce safety.
