Lincoln Mkc ABS Wheel Speed Sensor in US

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

What Is the ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on Your Lincoln Mkc

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

Signs of a Failing ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on the Lincoln Mkc

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

Passive vs. Active ABS Sensors for the Lincoln Mkc

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

Why GeoBrakes for the Lincoln Mkc ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Lincoln Mkc ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

Can I drive my Lincoln Mkc with a faulty ABS wheel speed sensor?

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

How do I find the right ABS sensor for my Lincoln Mkc?

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

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

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