C0558Right Rear Wheel Speed Sensor A Incorrect Component Installed
- Generic OBD-II code · Chassis
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Can trigger limp mode
- Needs a drive cycle to confirm a fix
- How the car detects it
- For the right rear wheel, C0558 says the ABS module does not accept the installed speed sensor as the correct part. Mitsubishi maps C1067-4A on the 2023 Outlander PHEV to C0558 (wrong installation position, detection within 3 s, MIL after two trips). Ford uses C003A:4A for the same failure type: on the 2025 Mustang GTD, bulletin 26-2102 traces it, together with circuit codes such as :01 and :07, to heat generated by the rear brake discs damaging the heat shield over the sensor harness, and replaces the damaged rear sensors with an updated part. So a physically harmed sensor can trigger this code too, not only a wrong spare part. Beware of older GM data: on the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu, preliminary information PIC5751A lists C0558 for an electric parking brake fault fixed at ground G401, a meaning unrelated to wheel speed.
