Acura Tsx ABS Wheel Speed Sensor in US

Your Acura Tsx ABS wheel speed sensor is the component that makes anti-lock braking possible on your Tsx. It monitors the rotational speed of each wheel in real time and sends that data to the Acura Tsx ABS control module, which uses it to prevent wheel lockup during emergency stops. When a sensor fails on your Tsx, 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 Tsx wheel speed data is reaching the module.

What Is the ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on Your Acura Tsx

The ABS wheel speed sensor on the Acura Tsx is an electromagnetic or Hall-effect sensor mounted near each wheel hub or bearing assembly of your Tsx. It generates an electronic signal as a toothed reluctor ring rotates past it, producing a frequency the Tsx ABS module interprets as wheel speed. On most modern Acura Tsx 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 Tsx systems simultaneously.

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

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

Passive vs. Active ABS Sensors for the Acura Tsx

GeoBrakes stocks both passive and active ABS wheel speed sensors for the Acura Tsx. Passive sensors use an analog signal and are found on older Tsx 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 Tsx vehicles manufactured after the mid-2000s and are required for full compatibility with modern Tsx traction and stability control systems.

Why GeoBrakes for the Acura Tsx ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Acura Tsx ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

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

You can drive the Acura Tsx with a failed ABS sensor, but the anti-lock braking system on your Tsx 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 Tsx. Replacing a failed sensor promptly is strongly recommended, particularly before winter.

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

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

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

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