Lincoln Mks ABS Wheel Speed Sensor in US

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

What Is the ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on Your Lincoln Mks

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

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

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

Passive vs. Active ABS Sensors for the Lincoln Mks

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

Why GeoBrakes for the Lincoln Mks ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Lincoln Mks ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

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

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

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

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

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

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