C0245

Wheel Speed Sensor Frequency Mismatch

Moderate severity

What it means

The ABS control module has detected that the frequency of one wheel speed sensor signal does not match the others under stable driving conditions. This often indicates a tone ring with extra or missing teeth or a sensor with degraded signal quality.

Is it safe to drive?

Use caution

The vehicle is usually drivable for short distances, but the problem can worsen or affect emissions. Diagnose and repair as soon as practical.

Most likely causes

  • Tone ring damaged or contaminated

    high

    One of the most commonly reported causes for this code — check this first.

  • Wheel speed sensor degraded

    medium

    A plausible cause — test and verify before replacing parts.

  • Tyre size mismatch

    low

    Less common, but worth ruling out after the more likely causes.
