Nissan Murano ABS Wheel Speed Sensor in US

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

What Is the ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on Your Nissan Murano

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

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

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

Passive vs. Active ABS Sensors for the Nissan Murano

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

Why GeoBrakes for the Nissan Murano ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Nissan Murano ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

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

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

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

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

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

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