What Happens When a Car Wheel Speed Sensor Fails?

[Ribeiro]

It can cause deviations in the speed display. Below is a detailed introduction: Safety Hazards: A faulty speed sensor can directly affect the vehicle's safety systems (such as ESP, ABS, etc.), leading to a decline in the car's stability performance. Under such conditions, aggressive driving naturally poses significant safety risks. Therefore, to avoid unnecessary losses. Consequences: Once the wheel speed sensor is indeed damaged, it not only causes deviations in the speed display on the dashboard but also results in unstable engine idling and reduced acceleration performance. Additionally, when starting the vehicle or decelerating to a stop during driving, there is a high likelihood of experiencing momentary pauses, or even the possibility of the engine stalling outright, which to some extent directly impacts driving safety.
