Honda Passport ABS Wheel Speed Sensor in US

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

What Is the ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on Your Honda Passport

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

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

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

Passive vs. Active ABS Sensors for the Honda Passport

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

Why GeoBrakes for the Honda Passport ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Honda Passport ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

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

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

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

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

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

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