Malfunction of the wheel speed sensor on a 2018 Citroën DS4 Diesel with 154,202 KM

ABS warning light

ABS/DSC system is not working

Fault stored

Warning light in the speedometer of the vehicle

Hello folks! The wheel speed sensor (ABS sensor) on my 2018 Citroën DS4 Diesel (over 154,202 KM already completed) seems to be acting up. The ABS warning light is constantly on, the ABS/DSC system is not working and the warning lights are just flying around in the speedometer - apparently errors are also stored. Last time at the mechanic was really annoying, hope to get better input here now. Have any of you experienced the same thing and can tell me how it was solved in the workshop? I would appreciate any experiences and tips. Thank you!

Hi, I had a fairly similar problem with my 2015 Citroën DS3 Diesel. When driving, the ABS warning light suddenly came on and the system stopped responding. At the last workshop visit, the mechanic replaced the ABS control unit because it was actually faulty. Had to wait several days for the repair because he had to order the selective part from the manufacturer. It wasn't anything life-threatening or anything, but it's serious as ABS/DSC systems are important for driving safety. I would suggest getting it checked at the garage as soon as possible. Driving without ABS/DSC is not really safe, especially in bad weather. Hope this helps you. Good luck!

Hey, thanks for the tip! Thank goodness I'm not the only one with this problem. Can you remember how much it cost you to replace the ABS control unit? And were there any other problems with the ABS/DSC after that or was everything fine? Let me know, thanks!

Hi, no problem, that's what we're here for. Replacing the ABS control unit cost me quite a bit, but it was probably necessary. I left around 1000 euros there. It was a bit of a shock at first, but safety first, right? Since then, my DS3 Diesel has been running like a kitten and the problem with the wheel speed sensor failure has also been resolved. So everything is back to normal, as you say. You'd better sort it out quickly with yours too, stay safe on the road, my friend!

Oh wow, that's quite a lot of money. But you're absolutely right, safety comes first and you shouldn't skimp on that. Thank you very much for your helpful tips. I'll take my DS4 to the garage as soon as possible and get it sorted out. Stay safe on the road too. Thanks again and have a nice day!

Firstly, ensure your car's tires are properly inflated and in good condition. If the tires are fine, the issue could be due to a faulty wheel speed sensor or a problem with the wiring. You can inspect the sensor and its wiring for any visible damage or corrosion. If you're not comfortable doing this yourself, it's best to take your car to a professional mechanic. Remember, issues with the ABS system can affect your vehicle's safety, so it's important to address this problem promptly.
