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?

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.
