Mercury Milan ABS Wheel Speed Sensor in US

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

What Is the ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on Your Mercury Milan

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

Signs of a Failing ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on the Mercury Milan

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

Passive vs. Active ABS Sensors for the Mercury Milan

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

Why GeoBrakes for the Mercury Milan ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Mercury Milan ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

Can I drive my Mercury Milan with a faulty ABS wheel speed sensor?

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

How do I find the right ABS sensor for my Mercury Milan?

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

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

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