Abs codes c0040 and c0041 front wheel speed control sensor and circuit

ABS lights is on with code c0040 and c0041 right wheel speed control sensor and circuit,shold I clean first harness and the wire before changing the sensor itself?Where is located the sensor and harness in order to find the connector and clean it?? Thanks

  • Keep calm,tell me your problem and i solve it

    Ok, i took a few Tips all over the internet but if you see my question you can see that i already suggested to myself to clean it first.
    PROBABLE SOLUTION: code c0040 And 0041 ABS light on,before anything do it yourself, detouch the front wheel And you can see righ behind the hub a connector ,one way comes from inside ( do not pull,risk to disconnect the wire) And the other way you see clear coming from the engine side.Detouch the connector And clean it inside in both connectors,male And female, let it stay And dry up from the cleaning stuff you used than connect the two parts again,remount the wheel And pray that the reason why the light was on was because the wire And connector was durty!
    This is reccomended before replacing sensor or wire!

Will be located near the wheel hub. As long as there is no physical damage I would guess you will be replacing the sensor

  • Keep calm,tell me your problem and i solve it

    Thanks but i solved the problem cleaning the connector, it was 8 years of durty And dusty so after i cleaned it i runned the CAR And no more ABS light on!i knew it And i will suggest anyone before changing sensor or wiring to clean it first because 70% of the Times it is that the reason why the ABS light is on!

You will have to check ABS codes to determine what the problem is.

SOURCE: 2003 chev. silverado2500hd, abs goes off, pulsates when stopping

Gm has tech service bulitens on this issue.First the abs sensors can and should be removed,inspect the sensor mounting surface for rust (clean w/ sandpaper) insp the sensor (note the sensor may break w/ trying to remove so be gentlel) if all looks ok reassemble and test drive. if unwanted abs still persists both hub bearings should be replaced (call your dealer and ask if a special policy exsits for this condition) usually no abs code w/ be present Good luck Ray..

SOURCE: My 1996 S-10 Blazer will not shift sometimes and

A faulty VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) or related wiring can cause both of your problems, trans and ABS. If the computer doesn't know the vehicle is moving, then it won't shift the trans. If the ABS controller sees wheel speed, but not vehicle speed, it will turn on the ABS light. The VSS is located in the rear transfer case housing. But remember, it may be the VSS, related wiring, a faulty speedo buffer (usually located in the dashboard), ECM, or even the reluctor on the transfer case output shaft. You may want to have a shop scan "data stream", or even have them diagnose the problem.

SOURCE: 2002 2WD CHEVY TAHOE ABS

Its possible that right wheel speed sensor is dropping out early making the truck think that wheel is locking up. That will activate the ABS and let the brake go on the right wheel which will make the vehicle pull slightly left. The only way to know for sure is to watch the wheel speeds on a scanner and see which one is drpping out first and replacing that speed sensor/bearing assembly.

good Luck

DTC C0040 Right Front Wheel Speed Sensor Circuit --
Conditions for Setting the DTC
C0035 C0040 C0045 C0050
One of the following conditions exists for 0.02 seconds:
• A short to voltage in the wheel speed sensor signal circuit.
• An open in the wheel speed sensor signal circuit.

Diagnostic Aids
C0035 C0040 C0045 C0050
If the customer comments that the ABS indicator is ON only during moist environmental conditions (rain, snow, vehicle wash, etc.), inspect the wheel speed sensor wiring for signs of water intrusion. If the DTC is not current, clear all DTCs and simulate the effects of water intrusion by using the following procedure:
Spray the suspected area with a 5 percent saltwater solution. To create a 5 percent saltwater solution, add 2 teaspoons of salt to 354 ml (12 oz) of water.
Test drive the vehicle over various road surfaces (bumps, turns, etc.) above 40 km/h (25 mph) for at least 30 seconds.
If the DTC returns, replace the suspected wheel speed sensor or repair the wheel speed sensor wiring.
Rinse the are thoroughly when completed.


Replace the EBCM. Refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup, and programming.
Did you complete the repair?

Hi, Have an 07 AWD Equinox, all stability control traction control, ABS, AWD, lights off, I've cleaned the ground ,all still on, now I have code c0040, c0899, wheel speed sensors are new, my scanner shows...

Do yourself a favor an take it to a qualified repair shop . You need a factory scan tool to see these code's
DTC C0040 00 : Right Front Wheel Speed Sensor Circuit No Additional Information
DTC C0040 0F : Right Front Wheel Speed Sensor Circuit Erratic Signal
DTC C0040 18 : Right Front Wheel Speed Sensor Circuit Signal Amplitude Less Than Minimum

DTC C0899: Device Voltage Low
Circuit/System Description
The electronic brake control module (EBCM) monitors the battery voltage level available for system operation. A low voltage condition prevents the system from operating properly.

Circuit/System Testing
Measure the voltage at the battery terminals.
With scan tool, read the battery voltage in the EBCM data list.
? If less than 10 volts, test the ground circuit of the EBCM for high resistance. If the circuit test normal, test or replace the EBCM.
Go to Battery Inspection/Test and Charging System Test .

Have a 2004 gmc yukon getting codes c0040, c0550,c0455,c0296 in the abs computer. Trac and abs light on as well as suspension control.

C0040 - Right Front Wheel Speed Circuit Malfunction
C0550 - ECU Malfunction - internal write / checksum malfunction
C0455 - Either:
  • A bent terminal or poor connection at the SWPS may be one possible cause; or
  • The vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES) electronic brake control module (EBCM) calibration may be the other possible cause.
C0296 - Transfer Case Delivered Torque for Stability Control System Circuit

TC, ABS and Service brake assist lights are on after changing speed sensor.

make sure your sensor is aligned properly check your connections have you driven the car since you changed sometimes you need to drive the vehicle to reprogram the speed sensor into the abs circuit these are fused circuits check your fuses

I pulled the codes and here they are : C0036, C0035, C0040

Sounds like you need front wheel speed sensors. Replace the wheel bearings and sensors. May have an ABS unit fault, but more likely is both wheel bearings/speed sensors.

ABS SERVICE LIGHT KEEPS COMMING ON, BUT BEFORE IT COMES ON I HEAR A CRUCHING SOUND WHEN I STOP. I replaced both of the front rotors and pads, and also I replaced driver and passenger side calipers. WHY IS...

Most likey you have a problem with one of the front wheel speed sensors not reading or a sensor harness.See if someone can pull a Code from you abs controller.Maybe a C0041.Very common on Relay Vans! If it has this code most likely will need a new set of twisted wires run from the EBTCM to the front wheel speed sensor.Hope This Helps
