Lexus Gs300 ABS Wheel Speed Sensor in US

Your Lexus Gs300 ABS wheel speed sensor is the component that makes anti-lock braking possible on your Gs300. It monitors the rotational speed of each wheel in real time and sends that data to the Lexus Gs300 ABS control module, which uses it to prevent wheel lockup during emergency stops. When a sensor fails on your Gs300, 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 Gs300 wheel speed data is reaching the module.

What Is the ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on Your Lexus Gs300

The ABS wheel speed sensor on the Lexus Gs300 is an electromagnetic or Hall-effect sensor mounted near each wheel hub or bearing assembly of your Gs300. It generates an electronic signal as a toothed reluctor ring rotates past it, producing a frequency the Gs300 ABS module interprets as wheel speed. On most modern Lexus Gs300 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 Gs300 systems simultaneously.

Signs of a Failing ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on the Lexus Gs300

• ABS warning light on your Lexus Gs300 dashboard, the most common first indicator of a failing sensor
• Traction control or stability control warning light illuminated alongside the Gs300 ABS light
• ABS activating on your Lexus Gs300 during normal stops at low speed where it should not engage
• Complete ABS deactivation on the Gs300, wheels lock under hard braking on wet or icy roads
• Speedometer on your Lexus Gs300 reading erratically or dropping to zero at speed
• Fault codes in the C0035 to C0050 range stored in the Lexus Gs300 ABS control module

Passive vs. Active ABS Sensors for the Lexus Gs300

GeoBrakes stocks both passive and active ABS wheel speed sensors for the Lexus Gs300. Passive sensors use an analog signal and are found on older Gs300 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 Gs300 vehicles manufactured after the mid-2000s and are required for full compatibility with modern Gs300 traction and stability control systems.

Why GeoBrakes for the Lexus Gs300 ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

Signal accuracy matters as much as fitment with Lexus Gs300 wheel speed sensors. A sensor that generates the correct frequency for your Gs300 ABS module ensures consistent ABS calibration, proper traction control thresholds, and accurate stability control response on your Lexus Gs300. Every sensor in the GeoBrakes catalogue is matched to the Lexus Gs300 through our vehicle selector, with front and rear positions listed separately to eliminate position errors on your Gs300.

Frequently Asked Questions - Lexus Gs300 ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

Can I drive my Lexus Gs300 with a faulty ABS wheel speed sensor?

You can drive the Lexus Gs300 with a failed ABS sensor, but the anti-lock braking system on your Gs300 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 Gs300. Replacing a failed sensor promptly is strongly recommended, particularly before winter.

How do I find the right ABS sensor for my Lexus Gs300?

Use the GeoBrakes vehicle selector and enter the Lexus Gs300 year, make, and model. The system displays only the sensors confirmed to fit the Lexus Gs300, with front and rear positions listed separately. Select the position matching the sensor you are replacing on your Gs300 to avoid receiving the wrong unit.

Do I need to replace all four ABS sensors on my Lexus Gs300 at the same time?

No. ABS wheel speed sensors on the Lexus Gs300 are independent components and only the failed unit needs to be replaced. However, if your Gs300 has high mileage and one sensor has failed, it is worth visually inspecting the connectors on the other Lexus Gs300 sensors for corrosion while the wheel is removed.
