Dodge Charger ABS Wheel Speed Sensor in US

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

What Is the ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on Your Dodge Charger

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

Signs of a Failing ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on the Dodge Charger

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

Passive vs. Active ABS Sensors for the Dodge Charger

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

Why GeoBrakes for the Dodge Charger ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Dodge Charger ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

Can I drive my Dodge Charger with a faulty ABS wheel speed sensor?

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

How do I find the right ABS sensor for my Dodge Charger?

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

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

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