Driving on a bad rear wheel speed sensor

e92m3sf · 12-18-2020, 06:30 PM

Finally diagnosed my car and it seems like the culprit is a bad rear wheel right side sensor

The part won't be here until next Tuesday and I have quite a bit of stuff to do this weekend.

Assuming I don't drive crazy, is it harmful to the car (engine/transmission wise) to drive on a bad wheel speed sensor?

You'll be fine. Just have to deal with the lights in the dash. And maybe traction control and abs won't work. I never found out 🤷🏽*♂️. Won't harm the car.

No harm to car, just be careful because it's driving without any safety systems on most cars. Is your traction and abs disabled?

In bad conditions that can be deadly on RWD high HP car.
