Cadillac Srx ABS Wheel Speed Sensor in US

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

What Is the ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on Your Cadillac Srx

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

Signs of a Failing ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on the Cadillac Srx

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

Passive vs. Active ABS Sensors for the Cadillac Srx

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

Why GeoBrakes for the Cadillac Srx ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Cadillac Srx ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

Can I drive my Cadillac Srx with a faulty ABS wheel speed sensor?

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

How do I find the right ABS sensor for my Cadillac Srx?

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

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

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