Lexus Hs250h ABS Wheel Speed Sensor in US

Your Lexus Hs250h ABS wheel speed sensor is the component that makes anti-lock braking possible on your Hs250h. It monitors the rotational speed of each wheel in real time and sends that data to the Lexus Hs250h ABS control module, which uses it to prevent wheel lockup during emergency stops. When a sensor fails on your Hs250h, 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 Hs250h wheel speed data is reaching the module.

What Is the ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on Your Lexus Hs250h

The ABS wheel speed sensor on the Lexus Hs250h is an electromagnetic or Hall-effect sensor mounted near each wheel hub or bearing assembly of your Hs250h. It generates an electronic signal as a toothed reluctor ring rotates past it, producing a frequency the Hs250h ABS module interprets as wheel speed. On most modern Lexus Hs250h 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 Hs250h systems simultaneously.

Signs of a Failing ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on the Lexus Hs250h

• ABS warning light on your Lexus Hs250h dashboard, the most common first indicator of a failing sensor
• Traction control or stability control warning light illuminated alongside the Hs250h ABS light
• ABS activating on your Lexus Hs250h during normal stops at low speed where it should not engage
• Complete ABS deactivation on the Hs250h, wheels lock under hard braking on wet or icy roads
• Speedometer on your Lexus Hs250h reading erratically or dropping to zero at speed
• Fault codes in the C0035 to C0050 range stored in the Lexus Hs250h ABS control module

Passive vs. Active ABS Sensors for the Lexus Hs250h

GeoBrakes stocks both passive and active ABS wheel speed sensors for the Lexus Hs250h. Passive sensors use an analog signal and are found on older Hs250h 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 Hs250h vehicles manufactured after the mid-2000s and are required for full compatibility with modern Hs250h traction and stability control systems.

Why GeoBrakes for the Lexus Hs250h ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

Signal accuracy matters as much as fitment with Lexus Hs250h wheel speed sensors. A sensor that generates the correct frequency for your Hs250h ABS module ensures consistent ABS calibration, proper traction control thresholds, and accurate stability control response on your Lexus Hs250h. Every sensor in the GeoBrakes catalogue is matched to the Lexus Hs250h through our vehicle selector, with front and rear positions listed separately to eliminate position errors on your Hs250h.

Frequently Asked Questions - Lexus Hs250h ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

Can I drive my Lexus Hs250h with a faulty ABS wheel speed sensor?

You can drive the Lexus Hs250h with a failed ABS sensor, but the anti-lock braking system on your Hs250h 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 Hs250h. Replacing a failed sensor promptly is strongly recommended, particularly before winter.

How do I find the right ABS sensor for my Lexus Hs250h?

Use the GeoBrakes vehicle selector and enter the Lexus Hs250h year, make, and model. The system displays only the sensors confirmed to fit the Lexus Hs250h, with front and rear positions listed separately. Select the position matching the sensor you are replacing on your Hs250h to avoid receiving the wrong unit.

Do I need to replace all four ABS sensors on my Lexus Hs250h at the same time?

No. ABS wheel speed sensors on the Lexus Hs250h are independent components and only the failed unit needs to be replaced. However, if your Hs250h has high mileage and one sensor has failed, it is worth visually inspecting the connectors on the other Lexus Hs250h sensors for corrosion while the wheel is removed.
