Code C0015 indicates a fault in the right‑front ABS wheel speed sensor circuit (Outlet Control). The ABS controller has detected an abnormal voltage or signal condition from that sensor.
The sensor element or its internal circuitry has failed, producing no or erratic voltage.
Wire harness chafing, broken conductors, or moisture in the connector can cause intermittent signals.
If the sensor is out of position relative to the tone ring, it may generate false readings.
Debris, rust, or cracks on the wheel hub ring can disrupt the magnetic field the sensor reads.
A rare failure inside the ABS controller can misinterpret a good sensor signal as a fault.
No. The PCM/ECM is rarely the cause of a C0015. Most cases are resolved by repairing the sensor, its wiring, or the tone ring. Replacing the control module should be a last resort after all other components have been verified.
The code can be cleared with a scan tool, but if the underlying fault remains the light will re‑appear and ABS performance will stay compromised. It is safest to diagnose and fix the issue before normal driving.
Yes. Many vehicles share wheel‑speed data between ABS, traction control, and stability control. A faulty sensor can cause those systems to deactivate or operate improperly.
Intermittent illumination often points to a loose connector or a sensor that is on the edge of failing. Re‑checking the wiring and sensor condition usually resolves the issue.
