Wheel Speed Mismatch (Rear Axle)
Rear axle wheel speeds differ beyond the plausibility threshold. Wheel-speed signals feed ABS, ESC, traction control, transmission and odometer — a single dropped signal disables all of these safety functions until repaired.
Affected components
- Wheel speed sensor rl
- Wheel speed sensor rr
- Tyres
Common causes
- High likelihood: Tyre size mismatch
- Medium likelihood: Sensor drift
Possible symptoms
- ABS warning light on
- ESC/stability control deactivated
- Possible reduced brake assist
- Speedometer may behave erratically
