Right Rear Wheel Speed Sensor A Intermittent/Erratic

Intermittent signal from right-rear WSS A. 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

  • Wss rr
  • Sensor wiring

Common causes

  • High likelihood: Connector loose or chafed wiring
  • Low likelihood: Connector with intermittent contact under vibration
  • Low likelihood: Harness routed against vibrating component

Possible symptoms

  • ABS warning light on
  • ESC/stability control deactivated
  • Possible reduced brake assist
  • Speedometer may behave erratically

Diagnostic notes

  • The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate
  • A drive cycle may be required after repair
  • Reduced-power or limp mode may occur
