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
