Ford F 350 Super Duty ABS Wheel Speed Sensor in Canada

Your Ford F 350 Super Duty ABS wheel speed sensor is the component that makes anti-lock braking possible on your F 350 Super Duty. It monitors the rotational speed of each wheel in real time and sends that data to the Ford F 350 Super Duty ABS control module, which uses it to prevent wheel lockup during emergency stops. When a sensor fails on your F 350 Super Duty, 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 Ford F 350 Super Duty wheel speed data is reaching the module.

What Is the ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on Your Ford F 350 Super Duty

The ABS wheel speed sensor on the Ford F 350 Super Duty is an electromagnetic or Hall-effect sensor mounted near each wheel hub or bearing assembly of your F 350 Super Duty. It generates an electronic signal as a toothed reluctor ring rotates past it, producing a frequency the F 350 Super Duty ABS module interprets as wheel speed. On most modern Ford F 350 Super Duty 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 F 350 Super Duty systems simultaneously.

Signs of a Failing ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on the Ford F 350 Super Duty

• ABS warning light on your Ford F 350 Super Duty dashboard, the most common first indicator of a failing sensor
• Traction control or stability control warning light illuminated alongside the F 350 Super Duty ABS light
• ABS activating on your Ford F 350 Super Duty during normal stops at low speed where it should not engage
• Complete ABS deactivation on the F 350 Super Duty, wheels lock under hard braking on wet or icy roads
• Speedometer on your Ford F 350 Super Duty reading erratically or dropping to zero at speed
• Fault codes in the C0035 to C0050 range stored in the Ford F 350 Super Duty ABS control module

Passive vs. Active ABS Sensors for the Ford F 350 Super Duty

GeoBrakes stocks both passive and active ABS wheel speed sensors for the Ford F 350 Super Duty. Passive sensors use an analog signal and are found on older F 350 Super Duty 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 Ford F 350 Super Duty vehicles manufactured after the mid-2000s and are required for full compatibility with modern F 350 Super Duty traction and stability control systems.

Why GeoBrakes for the Ford F 350 Super Duty ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

Signal accuracy matters as much as fitment with Ford F 350 Super Duty wheel speed sensors. A sensor that generates the correct frequency for your F 350 Super Duty ABS module ensures consistent ABS calibration, proper traction control thresholds, and accurate stability control response on your Ford F 350 Super Duty. Every sensor in the GeoBrakes catalogue is matched to the Ford F 350 Super Duty through our vehicle selector, with front and rear positions listed separately to eliminate position errors on your F 350 Super Duty.

Frequently Asked Questions - Ford F 350 Super Duty ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

Can I drive my Ford F 350 Super Duty with a faulty ABS wheel speed sensor?

You can drive the Ford F 350 Super Duty with a failed ABS sensor, but the anti-lock braking system on your F 350 Super Duty will be completely disabled. On icy or wet Canadian roads, this significantly increases stopping distances and the risk of losing steering control during hard braking on your Ford F 350 Super Duty. Replacing a failed sensor promptly is strongly recommended, particularly before winter.

How do I find the right ABS sensor for my Ford F 350 Super Duty?

Use the GeoBrakes vehicle selector and enter the Ford F 350 Super Duty year, make, and model. The system displays only the sensors confirmed to fit the Ford F 350 Super Duty, with front and rear positions listed separately. Select the position matching the sensor you are replacing on your F 350 Super Duty to avoid receiving the wrong unit.

Do I need to replace all four ABS sensors on my Ford F 350 Super Duty at the same time?

No. ABS wheel speed sensors on the Ford F 350 Super Duty are independent components and only the failed unit needs to be replaced. However, if your F 350 Super Duty has high mileage and one sensor has failed, it is worth visually inspecting the connectors on the other Ford F 350 Super Duty sensors for corrosion while the wheel is removed.
