Lexus Lx600 ABS Wheel Speed Sensor in US

Your Lexus Lx600 ABS wheel speed sensor is the component that makes anti-lock braking possible on your Lx600. It monitors the rotational speed of each wheel in real time and sends that data to the Lexus Lx600 ABS control module, which uses it to prevent wheel lockup during emergency stops. When a sensor fails on your Lx600, 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 Lx600 wheel speed data is reaching the module.

What Is the ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on Your Lexus Lx600

The ABS wheel speed sensor on the Lexus Lx600 is an electromagnetic or Hall-effect sensor mounted near each wheel hub or bearing assembly of your Lx600. It generates an electronic signal as a toothed reluctor ring rotates past it, producing a frequency the Lx600 ABS module interprets as wheel speed. On most modern Lexus Lx600 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 Lx600 systems simultaneously.

Signs of a Failing ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on the Lexus Lx600

• ABS warning light on your Lexus Lx600 dashboard, the most common first indicator of a failing sensor
• Traction control or stability control warning light illuminated alongside the Lx600 ABS light
• ABS activating on your Lexus Lx600 during normal stops at low speed where it should not engage
• Complete ABS deactivation on the Lx600, wheels lock under hard braking on wet or icy roads
• Speedometer on your Lexus Lx600 reading erratically or dropping to zero at speed
• Fault codes in the C0035 to C0050 range stored in the Lexus Lx600 ABS control module

Passive vs. Active ABS Sensors for the Lexus Lx600

GeoBrakes stocks both passive and active ABS wheel speed sensors for the Lexus Lx600. Passive sensors use an analog signal and are found on older Lx600 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 Lx600 vehicles manufactured after the mid-2000s and are required for full compatibility with modern Lx600 traction and stability control systems.

Why GeoBrakes for the Lexus Lx600 ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

Signal accuracy matters as much as fitment with Lexus Lx600 wheel speed sensors. A sensor that generates the correct frequency for your Lx600 ABS module ensures consistent ABS calibration, proper traction control thresholds, and accurate stability control response on your Lexus Lx600. Every sensor in the GeoBrakes catalogue is matched to the Lexus Lx600 through our vehicle selector, with front and rear positions listed separately to eliminate position errors on your Lx600.

Frequently Asked Questions - Lexus Lx600 ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

Can I drive my Lexus Lx600 with a faulty ABS wheel speed sensor?

You can drive the Lexus Lx600 with a failed ABS sensor, but the anti-lock braking system on your Lx600 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 Lx600. Replacing a failed sensor promptly is strongly recommended, particularly before winter.

How do I find the right ABS sensor for my Lexus Lx600?

Use the GeoBrakes vehicle selector and enter the Lexus Lx600 year, make, and model. The system displays only the sensors confirmed to fit the Lexus Lx600, with front and rear positions listed separately. Select the position matching the sensor you are replacing on your Lx600 to avoid receiving the wrong unit.

Do I need to replace all four ABS sensors on my Lexus Lx600 at the same time?

No. ABS wheel speed sensors on the Lexus Lx600 are independent components and only the failed unit needs to be replaced. However, if your Lx600 has high mileage and one sensor has failed, it is worth visually inspecting the connectors on the other Lexus Lx600 sensors for corrosion while the wheel is removed.
