Plymouth Neon ABS Wheel Speed Sensor in US

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

What Is the ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on Your Plymouth Neon

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

Signs of a Failing ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on the Plymouth Neon

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

Passive vs. Active ABS Sensors for the Plymouth Neon

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

Why GeoBrakes for the Plymouth Neon ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Plymouth Neon ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

Can I drive my Plymouth Neon with a faulty ABS wheel speed sensor?

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

How do I find the right ABS sensor for my Plymouth Neon?

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

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

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