Nissan Micra ABS Wheel Speed Sensor in US

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

What Is the ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on Your Nissan Micra

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

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

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

Passive vs. Active ABS Sensors for the Nissan Micra

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

Why GeoBrakes for the Nissan Micra ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Nissan Micra ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

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

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

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

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

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

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