Your Volkswagen Routan ABS wheel speed sensor is the component that makes anti-lock braking possible on your Routan. It monitors the rotational speed of each wheel in real time and sends that data to the Volkswagen Routan ABS control module, which uses it to prevent wheel lockup during emergency stops. When a sensor fails on your Routan, 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 Volkswagen Routan wheel speed data is reaching the module.
The ABS wheel speed sensor on the Volkswagen Routan is an electromagnetic or Hall-effect sensor mounted near each wheel hub or bearing assembly of your Routan. It generates an electronic signal as a toothed reluctor ring rotates past it, producing a frequency the Routan ABS module interprets as wheel speed. On most modern Volkswagen Routan 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 Routan systems simultaneously.
GeoBrakes stocks both passive and active ABS wheel speed sensors for the Volkswagen Routan. Passive sensors use an analog signal and are found on older Routan 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 Volkswagen Routan vehicles manufactured after the mid-2000s and are required for full compatibility with modern Routan traction and stability control systems.
Signal accuracy matters as much as fitment with Volkswagen Routan wheel speed sensors. A sensor that generates the correct frequency for your Routan ABS module ensures consistent ABS calibration, proper traction control thresholds, and accurate stability control response on your Volkswagen Routan. Every sensor in the GeoBrakes catalogue is matched to the Volkswagen Routan through our vehicle selector, with front and rear positions listed separately to eliminate position errors on your Routan.
Can I drive my Volkswagen Routan with a faulty ABS wheel speed sensor?
You can drive the Volkswagen Routan with a failed ABS sensor, but the anti-lock braking system on your Routan 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 Volkswagen Routan. Replacing a failed sensor promptly is strongly recommended, particularly before winter.
How do I find the right ABS sensor for my Volkswagen Routan?
Use the GeoBrakes vehicle selector and enter the Volkswagen Routan year, make, and model. The system displays only the sensors confirmed to fit the Volkswagen Routan, with front and rear positions listed separately. Select the position matching the sensor you are replacing on your Routan to avoid receiving the wrong unit.
Do I need to replace all four ABS sensors on my Volkswagen Routan at the same time?
No. ABS wheel speed sensors on the Volkswagen Routan are independent components and only the failed unit needs to be replaced. However, if your Routan has high mileage and one sensor has failed, it is worth visually inspecting the connectors on the other Volkswagen Routan sensors for corrosion while the wheel is removed.
