C0060Right Rear Wheel Speed Sensor Circuit
- Generic OBD-II code · Chassis
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- Covers a general fault in the right rear wheel speed sensor circuit. The active sensor feeds rear wheel rotation to the ABS/ESC module for anti-lock, traction and stability control and electronic brake-force distribution; the module monitors the two-wire circuit for opens, shorts to power or ground, out-of-range current and a missing signal while the vehicle moves. A broken or chafed harness, a failed sensor or a corroded connector sets the code and disables ABS, traction and stability control while base braking remains. It overlaps with the right rear circuit-malfunction code C0050 and the intermittent code C0066, differing in the exact fault qualifier the module assigns. Bosch active sensors read a magnetic encoder through a Hall element and need an intact supply. The entry follows the SAE J2012 generic definition.
