C003ERear Wheel Speed Sensor Supply
- Generic OBD-II code · Chassis
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- Covers the supply circuit that powers a single rear active wheel speed sensor on vehicles with one combined rear speed signal. Active sensors need a regulated voltage from the ABS/ESC module; this code is set when that supply is open, shorted to ground or another voltage, or outside the regulated range so the sensor cannot produce a valid signal. It is distinct from the sensor-signal code C003D in that the fault is on the feed rather than the sensor element. A fault disables ABS, traction and stability control and lights the ABS warning lamp while base braking remains. No manufacturer documents this code publicly; the J2012 table in NHTSA's EPS safety report lists C003E as the rear sensor supply.
