Hyundai Ix35 ABS Wheel Speed Sensor in US

Your Hyundai Ix35 ABS wheel speed sensor is the component that makes anti-lock braking possible on your Ix35. It monitors the rotational speed of each wheel in real time and sends that data to the Hyundai Ix35 ABS control module, which uses it to prevent wheel lockup during emergency stops. When a sensor fails on your Ix35, 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 Hyundai Ix35 wheel speed data is reaching the module.

What Is the ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on Your Hyundai Ix35

The ABS wheel speed sensor on the Hyundai Ix35 is an electromagnetic or Hall-effect sensor mounted near each wheel hub or bearing assembly of your Ix35. It generates an electronic signal as a toothed reluctor ring rotates past it, producing a frequency the Ix35 ABS module interprets as wheel speed. On most modern Hyundai Ix35 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 Ix35 systems simultaneously.

Signs of a Failing ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on the Hyundai Ix35

• ABS warning light on your Hyundai Ix35 dashboard, the most common first indicator of a failing sensor
• Traction control or stability control warning light illuminated alongside the Ix35 ABS light
• ABS activating on your Hyundai Ix35 during normal stops at low speed where it should not engage
• Complete ABS deactivation on the Ix35, wheels lock under hard braking on wet or icy roads
• Speedometer on your Hyundai Ix35 reading erratically or dropping to zero at speed
• Fault codes in the C0035 to C0050 range stored in the Hyundai Ix35 ABS control module

Passive vs. Active ABS Sensors for the Hyundai Ix35

GeoBrakes stocks both passive and active ABS wheel speed sensors for the Hyundai Ix35. Passive sensors use an analog signal and are found on older Ix35 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 Hyundai Ix35 vehicles manufactured after the mid-2000s and are required for full compatibility with modern Ix35 traction and stability control systems.

Why GeoBrakes for the Hyundai Ix35 ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

Signal accuracy matters as much as fitment with Hyundai Ix35 wheel speed sensors. A sensor that generates the correct frequency for your Ix35 ABS module ensures consistent ABS calibration, proper traction control thresholds, and accurate stability control response on your Hyundai Ix35. Every sensor in the GeoBrakes catalogue is matched to the Hyundai Ix35 through our vehicle selector, with front and rear positions listed separately to eliminate position errors on your Ix35.

Frequently Asked Questions - Hyundai Ix35 ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

Can I drive my Hyundai Ix35 with a faulty ABS wheel speed sensor?

You can drive the Hyundai Ix35 with a failed ABS sensor, but the anti-lock braking system on your Ix35 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 Hyundai Ix35. Replacing a failed sensor promptly is strongly recommended, particularly before winter.

How do I find the right ABS sensor for my Hyundai Ix35?

Use the GeoBrakes vehicle selector and enter the Hyundai Ix35 year, make, and model. The system displays only the sensors confirmed to fit the Hyundai Ix35, with front and rear positions listed separately. Select the position matching the sensor you are replacing on your Ix35 to avoid receiving the wrong unit.

Do I need to replace all four ABS sensors on my Hyundai Ix35 at the same time?

No. ABS wheel speed sensors on the Hyundai Ix35 are independent components and only the failed unit needs to be replaced. However, if your Ix35 has high mileage and one sensor has failed, it is worth visually inspecting the connectors on the other Hyundai Ix35 sensors for corrosion while the wheel is removed.
