- An essential part of your anti-lock braking system
- A malfunctioning ABS sensor might trigger a dashboard light
- Can be clogged or damaged by brake dust and road debris
The ABS Wheel Speed Sensor is a sensor located on each wheel of your vehicle. The ABS Wheel Speed Sensor (Rear) analyzes wheel speed and sends the measurement directly to your ABS (anti-lock braking system). With this information, the ABS computer keeps brake locking from occurring in the case of immediate braking.
When your ABS Wheel Speed Sensor (Rear) or ABS isn't working the way it should, your brakes may lock up, which could cause some wheels to stop turning and others to keep turning. If your brakes become inoperable when you need to brake, you might lose control of your Nissan. When the ABS Wheel Speed Sensor (Rear) notices that the wheels are turning at different intervals, the anti-lock braking system will regulate the brakes until all the wheels are rotating the same.
If your ABS Wheel Speed Sensor (Rear) stops working properly, it may no longer send the right data or stop communicating altogether to the anti-lock braking system, and the computer will not securely maintain your brakes during an emergency braking situation. A poorly functioning sensor might also illuminate the ABS warning light or Check Engine Light on the dashboard.
Typical issues with the ABS Wheel Speed Sensor (Rear) can occur when dirt, brake dust, or debris get into the sensor or if it becomes exposed to harsh elements. If your ABS Wheel Speed Sensor (Rear) has become damaged or is no longer functioning correctly, it's important to replace it with an authentic OEM ABS Wheel Speed Sensor (Rear) from Nissan Parts to guarantee it fits your vehicle the way it should.
