Honda Crosstour ABS Wheel Speed Sensor in US

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

What Is the ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on Your Honda Crosstour

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

Signs of a Failing ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on the Honda Crosstour

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

Passive vs. Active ABS Sensors for the Honda Crosstour

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

Why GeoBrakes for the Honda Crosstour ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Honda Crosstour ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

Can I drive my Honda Crosstour with a faulty ABS wheel speed sensor?

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

How do I find the right ABS sensor for my Honda Crosstour?

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

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

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