Dodge Sprinter 2500 ABS Wheel Speed Sensor in US

Your Dodge Sprinter 2500 ABS wheel speed sensor is the component that makes anti-lock braking possible on your Sprinter 2500. It monitors the rotational speed of each wheel in real time and sends that data to the Dodge Sprinter 2500 ABS control module, which uses it to prevent wheel lockup during emergency stops. When a sensor fails on your Sprinter 2500, 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 Sprinter 2500 wheel speed data is reaching the module.

What Is the ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on Your Dodge Sprinter 2500

The ABS wheel speed sensor on the Dodge Sprinter 2500 is an electromagnetic or Hall-effect sensor mounted near each wheel hub or bearing assembly of your Sprinter 2500. It generates an electronic signal as a toothed reluctor ring rotates past it, producing a frequency the Sprinter 2500 ABS module interprets as wheel speed. On most modern Dodge Sprinter 2500 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 Sprinter 2500 systems simultaneously.

Signs of a Failing ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on the Dodge Sprinter 2500

• ABS warning light on your Dodge Sprinter 2500 dashboard, the most common first indicator of a failing sensor
• Traction control or stability control warning light illuminated alongside the Sprinter 2500 ABS light
• ABS activating on your Dodge Sprinter 2500 during normal stops at low speed where it should not engage
• Complete ABS deactivation on the Sprinter 2500, wheels lock under hard braking on wet or icy roads
• Speedometer on your Dodge Sprinter 2500 reading erratically or dropping to zero at speed
• Fault codes in the C0035 to C0050 range stored in the Dodge Sprinter 2500 ABS control module

Passive vs. Active ABS Sensors for the Dodge Sprinter 2500

GeoBrakes stocks both passive and active ABS wheel speed sensors for the Dodge Sprinter 2500. Passive sensors use an analog signal and are found on older Sprinter 2500 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 Sprinter 2500 vehicles manufactured after the mid-2000s and are required for full compatibility with modern Sprinter 2500 traction and stability control systems.

Why GeoBrakes for the Dodge Sprinter 2500 ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

Signal accuracy matters as much as fitment with Dodge Sprinter 2500 wheel speed sensors. A sensor that generates the correct frequency for your Sprinter 2500 ABS module ensures consistent ABS calibration, proper traction control thresholds, and accurate stability control response on your Dodge Sprinter 2500. Every sensor in the GeoBrakes catalogue is matched to the Dodge Sprinter 2500 through our vehicle selector, with front and rear positions listed separately to eliminate position errors on your Sprinter 2500.

Frequently Asked Questions - Dodge Sprinter 2500 ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

Can I drive my Dodge Sprinter 2500 with a faulty ABS wheel speed sensor?

You can drive the Dodge Sprinter 2500 with a failed ABS sensor, but the anti-lock braking system on your Sprinter 2500 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 Sprinter 2500. Replacing a failed sensor promptly is strongly recommended, particularly before winter.

How do I find the right ABS sensor for my Dodge Sprinter 2500?

Use the GeoBrakes vehicle selector and enter the Dodge Sprinter 2500 year, make, and model. The system displays only the sensors confirmed to fit the Dodge Sprinter 2500, with front and rear positions listed separately. Select the position matching the sensor you are replacing on your Sprinter 2500 to avoid receiving the wrong unit.

Do I need to replace all four ABS sensors on my Dodge Sprinter 2500 at the same time?

No. ABS wheel speed sensors on the Dodge Sprinter 2500 are independent components and only the failed unit needs to be replaced. However, if your Sprinter 2500 has high mileage and one sensor has failed, it is worth visually inspecting the connectors on the other Dodge Sprinter 2500 sensors for corrosion while the wheel is removed.
