The C0659 code indicates that the right front wheel speed sensor is not reporting its speed within the expected range, affecting the ABS system.
The sensor may have failed or be providing inaccurate readings, causing the range performance fault.
Corroded, broken, or loose wiring or connector can interrupt the signal and trigger the code.
A damaged tone ring or debris preventing the sensor from detecting wheel rotation can cause range errors.
The module that processes wheel speed data may have a fault, though this is less common than sensor or wiring issues.
A PCM issue can affect wheel speed sensor interpretation, but this is rare and should be considered only after other causes are ruled out.
Replacing the PCM is rarely necessary; most issues are resolved by repairing or replacing the wheel speed sensor, its wiring, or connector.
Yes, it pertains to the ABS sensor that monitors wheel speed for brake and stability systems.
The ABS warning light will typically illuminate when this fault is detected.
Yes, after correcting the underlying issue, the code must be cleared with a scan tool to verify the repair.
