Along with other indicator lights in your vehicle, you&rsquo;ll notice it flash briefly whenever you start your car. However, if the speed sensors in your ABS are faulty, they&rsquo;ll most likely stay on until you replace your speed sensors.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column86819_b73919-64 >

Four-wheel ABS always has a sensor for each wheel typically installed directly on the wheel axle or behind the wheel&rsquo;s brake rotor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does a Wheel Speed Sensor Do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When in a hard braking situation, if the wheels lock, you lose your ability to steer the vehicle. Even though you&rsquo;re turning the wheel, if the front wheels aren&rsquo;t rolling, the car will keep going straight, which can lead to serious road accidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, on a curve, wheel lockup will typically cause dangerous sideways skidding, and this is why rear anti-lock brakes became a requirement on pickups and vans in the 1980s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If the ABS module detects any of the wheels slowing too rapidly during a hard braking maneuver, the hydraulic control unit will automatically use its isolation solenoids to block brake fluid pressure to any or all wheels that are beginning to slide, which helps keep you in control of the vehicle.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"ai-summary-widget\">\n\n        <div class=\"ai-summary-grid\">\n\n            <div>\n                <div class=\"ai-avatar\">\n                    <figure>\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/q_auto,dpr_auto,f_auto\/carparts\/blog\/widgets\/ai-summary\/ai-bot\" alt=\"AI robot\">\n                    <\/figure>\n                    <span>ELI5<\/span>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div>\n                <p>When you press the brakes, special sensors on your car&rsquo;s wheels measure how fast they&rsquo;re spinning. If your car notices that a wheel stops spinning too fast, it means it might be sliding instead of rolling. Sliding wheels can make it hard to steer, and the car might keep moving straight even if you turn the steering wheel.\n\nThe car has a smart system called ABS (anti-lock braking system) that helps. It adjusts the brakes so that the wheels keep rolling instead of sliding. This keeps the car easier to steer and helps it to stop safely, especially during hard braking.<\/p>    \n            <\/div>\n\n        <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"ai-summary-tooltip\">   \n            <p>Not everyone is an auto repair expert. <strong>ELI5 (&ldquo;Explain Like I&rsquo;m Five&rdquo;)<\/strong> provides layperson-friendly explanations of complex automotive concepts, systems, &amp; parts, so you can fully understand their importance.

Whatever the cause is, it&rsquo;s best to replace your wheel speed sensors as soon as they fail.&nbsp;<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1688537093614\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is It Safe To Drive With a Bad Wheel Speed Sensor?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">While you can still drive your vehicle even if your wheel speed sensor isn&rsquo;t working, it isn&rsquo;t a good idea to do so. The ABS is an important safety feature in your vehicle, and it can&rsquo;t function if your wheel speed sensors aren&rsquo;t working.<br><br>You can still use your vehicle&rsquo;s brakes, but they might lock up if you need to stop suddenly. This puts you at risk for traffic accidents, so it&rsquo;s best not to delay your visit to the mechanic. Replacing the ABS sensors is relatively easy for them, and you can expect most mechanics to get the job done within an hour.&nbsp;<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1688537121668\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How Often Should You Replace Your Wheel Speed Sensor?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Most wheel speed sensors last around 30,000 to 50,000 miles but will usually last the life of the vehicle. However, this can change depending on several factors, like how you drive, how frequently you drive, and the condition of the roads you often travel on.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1688537260143\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How Much Does It Cost To Replace a Wheel Speed Sensor?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Wheel speed sensors can go for $10 to $680.
