Chrysler Cirrus ABS Wheel Speed Sensor in US

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

What Is the ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on Your Chrysler Cirrus

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

Signs of a Failing ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on the Chrysler Cirrus

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

Passive vs. Active ABS Sensors for the Chrysler Cirrus

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

Why GeoBrakes for the Chrysler Cirrus ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Chrysler Cirrus ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

Can I drive my Chrysler Cirrus with a faulty ABS wheel speed sensor?

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

How do I find the right ABS sensor for my Chrysler Cirrus?

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

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

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