  • Possible incorrect operation of ABS when braking
  • Code C1192 when diagnosing with a scanner
  • Disabling the stabilization system (ESP/ESC)
  • Zero speed readings of the right front wheel in real scanner data

Causes

  • Damage to the insulation of the speed sensor wire (frayed, kinked)
  • Short circuit in the sensor connector
  • Damage to wiring when repairing the brake system or suspension
  • Wire contact with hot exhaust system elements
  • Faulty wheel speed sensor with internal short circuit

How to Fix

  1. Read error codes with a scanner and check wheel speed data in real time
  2. Visually inspect the wiring of the speed sensor from the wheel to the ABS unit connector
  3. Check the sensor connector for oxidation, deformation and mechanical damage.
  4. Measure the resistance and voltage in the sensor circuit with a multimeter
  5. If damage is detected, restore the insulation or replace the wiring harness
  6. Replace the wheel speed sensor if there is an internal short circuit
