- 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
An ABS Wheel Speed Sensor (Rear) is located on your Nissan's wheels. The ABS Wheel Speed Sensor (Rear) analyzes your wheel's speed and communicates this measurement back to the onboard anti-lock braking system (ABS) computer. With this information, the ABS computer keeps brake locking from occurring during emergency braking.
When your ABS Wheel Speed Sensor (Rear) or ABS isn't working the way it should, the brakes on your Nissan might seize, causing some wheels to stop turning and others to continue turning. If your brakes become inoperable during emergency braking, you might lose control of your vehicle while driving. Once your ABS Wheel Speed Sensor (Rear) notices that the wheels are turning at various intervals, the ABS computer will adjust the brakes until your wheels are turning properly.
If your ABS Wheel Speed Sensor (Rear) stops working the way it should, it might stop sending the right data or any information at all to the ABS, and it may not efficiently regulate your brakes when you need them most. A broken wheel sensor might also activate your ABS warning light or the Malfunction Indicator Light on your Nissan dashboard.
ABS Wheel Speed Sensor (Rear) problems may occur when contaminants such as brake dust, dirt, and road debris clog the wheel speed sensor or if the sensor is encounters heavy-duty elements or accidents. If your Nissan's ABS Wheel Speed Sensor (Rear) is no longer working as it should, it's important to replace it with a genuine replacement ABS Wheel Speed Sensor (Rear) from Nissan Parts to make sure a proper fit.
