Your vehicle’s Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) is a critical safety feature that prevents your wheels from locking up during sudden braking, helping you maintain control and avoid skidding. A faulty ABS wheel sensor can compromise braking performance, affect traction control, and increase stopping distances—all of which put you at greater risk on the road.
At Wii Auto Repair in Avondale, AZ, our ASE-certified technicians provide expert ABS wheel sensor replacement to ensure your brakes are working flawlessly and safely. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we pinpoint sensor malfunctions and install high-quality replacements to restore your vehicle’s braking performance.
We proudly serve Avondale, Glendale, Goodyear, Peoria, Phoenix, and surrounding areas with trusted ABS repair services.

The ABS wheel sensor (also called a speed sensor) is a vital component of your vehicle’s anti-lock braking system. It monitors the speed of each wheel and sends real-time data to the vehicle’s Electronic Control Unit (ECU).
If the ECU detects that one or more wheels are locking up, it adjusts brake pressure automatically to prevent skidding and maintain control.
The ABS system consists of four key components:
Speed Sensors (ABS Wheel Sensors) – Measure wheel speed and relay data to the ECU.
Electronic Control Unit (ECU) – Analyzes sensor data and adjusts braking force accordingly.
Valves – Control brake fluid pressure to apply or release braking force as needed.
Hydraulic Control Unit – Increases or decreases braking pressure for each wheel based on ECU signals.
A malfunctioning ABS wheel sensor can compromise your vehicle’s safety and braking ability. Look out for these warning signs:
ABS Warning Light Stays On – If the ABS light illuminates and remains on, it signals a problem with the system—often due to a failed wheel sensor.
Traction Control or Stability Control Issues – Your ABS system works with your traction and stability control systems. A bad ABS sensor can cause these features to be disabled, increasing the risk of losing control.
Increased Stopping Distance – A faulty ABS sensor can prevent your ABS from activating properly, causing your braking distance to increase—a dangerous situation in emergency stops.
Unstable Braking – If you notice shaking, pulsation, or uneven braking, your ABS system may not be distributing brake pressure correctly.
Vehicle Skidding During Braking – Without proper ABS function, your wheels may lock up when braking on wet, icy, or slippery roads.
Check Engine Light Activation – In some cases, a failing ABS sensor may trigger the Check Engine Light, as the ECU detects irregularities in the braking system’s data.
