Renault Koleos ABS Wheel Speed Sensor in US

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

What Is the ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on Your Renault Koleos

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

Signs of a Failing ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on the Renault Koleos

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

Passive vs. Active ABS Sensors for the Renault Koleos

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

Why GeoBrakes for the Renault Koleos ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Renault Koleos ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

Can I drive my Renault Koleos with a faulty ABS wheel speed sensor?

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

How do I find the right ABS sensor for my Renault Koleos?

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

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

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