Acura Tl ABS Wheel Speed Sensor in US

Your Acura Tl ABS wheel speed sensor is the component that makes anti-lock braking possible on your Tl. It monitors the rotational speed of each wheel in real time and sends that data to the Acura Tl ABS control module, which uses it to prevent wheel lockup during emergency stops. When a sensor fails on your Tl, your ABS loses the input it needs. On wet, icy, or gravel road surfaces, the difference between a controlled stop and a skid can come down to whether your Acura Tl wheel speed data is reaching the module.

What Is the ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on Your Acura Tl

The ABS wheel speed sensor on the Acura Tl is an electromagnetic or Hall-effect sensor mounted near each wheel hub or bearing assembly of your Tl. It generates an electronic signal as a toothed reluctor ring rotates past it, producing a frequency the Tl ABS module interprets as wheel speed. On most modern Acura Tl vehicles, this same data feeds the traction control system, electronic stability control, and electronic brake force distribution, making a functioning wheel speed sensor critical to the safe operation of multiple Tl systems simultaneously.

Signs of a Failing ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on the Acura Tl

• ABS warning light on your Acura Tl dashboard, the most common first indicator of a failing sensor
• Traction control or stability control warning light illuminated alongside the Tl ABS light
• ABS activating on your Acura Tl during normal stops at low speed where it should not engage
• Complete ABS deactivation on the Tl, wheels lock under hard braking on wet or icy roads
• Speedometer on your Acura Tl reading erratically or dropping to zero at speed
• Fault codes in the C0035 to C0050 range stored in the Acura Tl ABS control module

Passive vs. Active ABS Sensors for the Acura Tl

GeoBrakes stocks both passive and active ABS wheel speed sensors for the Acura Tl. Passive sensors use an analog signal and are found on older Tl vehicles and many trucks still in service. Active Hall-effect sensors require a small power supply and output a clean digital signal, offering greater accuracy at very low speeds. Active sensors are standard on most Acura Tl vehicles manufactured after the mid-2000s and are required for full compatibility with modern Tl traction and stability control systems.

Why GeoBrakes for the Acura Tl ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

Signal accuracy matters as much as fitment with Acura Tl wheel speed sensors. A sensor that generates the correct frequency for your Tl ABS module ensures consistent ABS calibration, proper traction control thresholds, and accurate stability control response on your Acura Tl. Every sensor in the GeoBrakes catalogue is matched to the Acura Tl through our vehicle selector, with front and rear positions listed separately to eliminate position errors on your Tl.

Frequently Asked Questions - Acura Tl ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

Can I drive my Acura Tl with a faulty ABS wheel speed sensor?

You can drive the Acura Tl with a failed ABS sensor, but the anti-lock braking system on your Tl will be completely disabled. On icy or wet American roads, this significantly increases stopping distances and the risk of losing steering control during hard braking on your Acura Tl. Replacing a failed sensor promptly is strongly recommended, particularly before winter.

How do I find the right ABS sensor for my Acura Tl?

Use the GeoBrakes vehicle selector and enter the Acura Tl year, make, and model. The system displays only the sensors confirmed to fit the Acura Tl, with front and rear positions listed separately. Select the position matching the sensor you are replacing on your Tl to avoid receiving the wrong unit.

Do I need to replace all four ABS sensors on my Acura Tl at the same time?

No. ABS wheel speed sensors on the Acura Tl are independent components and only the failed unit needs to be replaced. However, if your Tl has high mileage and one sensor has failed, it is worth visually inspecting the connectors on the other Acura Tl sensors for corrosion while the wheel is removed.
