Nissan Armada ABS Wheel Speed Sensor in US

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

What Is the ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on Your Nissan Armada

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

Signs of a Failing ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on the Nissan Armada

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

Passive vs. Active ABS Sensors for the Nissan Armada

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

Why GeoBrakes for the Nissan Armada ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Nissan Armada ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

Can I drive my Nissan Armada with a faulty ABS wheel speed sensor?

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

How do I find the right ABS sensor for my Nissan Armada?

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

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

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