Mitsubishi Outlander ABS Wheel Speed Sensor in US

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

What Is the ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on Your Mitsubishi Outlander

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

Signs of a Failing ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on the Mitsubishi Outlander

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

Passive vs. Active ABS Sensors for the Mitsubishi Outlander

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

Why GeoBrakes for the Mitsubishi Outlander ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Mitsubishi Outlander ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

Can I drive my Mitsubishi Outlander with a faulty ABS wheel speed sensor?

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

How do I find the right ABS sensor for my Mitsubishi Outlander?

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

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

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