Lexus Ct200h ABS Wheel Speed Sensor in US

Your Lexus Ct200h ABS wheel speed sensor is the component that makes anti-lock braking possible on your Ct200h. It monitors the rotational speed of each wheel in real time and sends that data to the Lexus Ct200h ABS control module, which uses it to prevent wheel lockup during emergency stops. When a sensor fails on your Ct200h, 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 Lexus Ct200h wheel speed data is reaching the module.

What Is the ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on Your Lexus Ct200h

The ABS wheel speed sensor on the Lexus Ct200h is an electromagnetic or Hall-effect sensor mounted near each wheel hub or bearing assembly of your Ct200h. It generates an electronic signal as a toothed reluctor ring rotates past it, producing a frequency the Ct200h ABS module interprets as wheel speed. On most modern Lexus Ct200h 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 Ct200h systems simultaneously.

Signs of a Failing ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on the Lexus Ct200h

• ABS warning light on your Lexus Ct200h dashboard, the most common first indicator of a failing sensor
• Traction control or stability control warning light illuminated alongside the Ct200h ABS light
• ABS activating on your Lexus Ct200h during normal stops at low speed where it should not engage
• Complete ABS deactivation on the Ct200h, wheels lock under hard braking on wet or icy roads
• Speedometer on your Lexus Ct200h reading erratically or dropping to zero at speed
• Fault codes in the C0035 to C0050 range stored in the Lexus Ct200h ABS control module

Passive vs. Active ABS Sensors for the Lexus Ct200h

GeoBrakes stocks both passive and active ABS wheel speed sensors for the Lexus Ct200h. Passive sensors use an analog signal and are found on older Ct200h 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 Lexus Ct200h vehicles manufactured after the mid-2000s and are required for full compatibility with modern Ct200h traction and stability control systems.

Why GeoBrakes for the Lexus Ct200h ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

Signal accuracy matters as much as fitment with Lexus Ct200h wheel speed sensors. A sensor that generates the correct frequency for your Ct200h ABS module ensures consistent ABS calibration, proper traction control thresholds, and accurate stability control response on your Lexus Ct200h. Every sensor in the GeoBrakes catalogue is matched to the Lexus Ct200h through our vehicle selector, with front and rear positions listed separately to eliminate position errors on your Ct200h.

Frequently Asked Questions - Lexus Ct200h ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

Can I drive my Lexus Ct200h with a faulty ABS wheel speed sensor?

You can drive the Lexus Ct200h with a failed ABS sensor, but the anti-lock braking system on your Ct200h 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 Lexus Ct200h. Replacing a failed sensor promptly is strongly recommended, particularly before winter.

How do I find the right ABS sensor for my Lexus Ct200h?

Use the GeoBrakes vehicle selector and enter the Lexus Ct200h year, make, and model. The system displays only the sensors confirmed to fit the Lexus Ct200h, with front and rear positions listed separately. Select the position matching the sensor you are replacing on your Ct200h to avoid receiving the wrong unit.

Do I need to replace all four ABS sensors on my Lexus Ct200h at the same time?

No. ABS wheel speed sensors on the Lexus Ct200h are independent components and only the failed unit needs to be replaced. However, if your Ct200h has high mileage and one sensor has failed, it is worth visually inspecting the connectors on the other Lexus Ct200h sensors for corrosion while the wheel is removed.
