Code result
U0413
Invalid Data Received from Wheel Speed Sensor
Moderate severity
What it means
ABS receives implausible rear-driver wheel speed data. ESP and traction control are deactivated. Wheel-speed signals feed ABS, ESC, traction control, transmission and odometer — a single dropped signal disables all of these safety functions until repaired.
Is it safe to drive?
