ABS Light Stuck On? Range Rover Evoque II Wheel Speed Sensor Guide

Why Your Evoque II's ABS Light Stays On

On a Range Rover Evoque II, a continuously lit ABS warning light is the system telling you it has disabled itself — and the most common culprit is a wheel speed sensor or its wiring. The ABS module needs a clean, consistent speed signal from all four wheels. If one sensor drops out, reads erratically, or the reluctor ring is cracked or dirty, the module logs a fault and switches ABS off. Other likely causes include corroded connectors, a chafed sensor harness near the hub, a failing wheel bearing with an integrated magnetic ring, low battery voltage, or — less often — an ABS module issue.

What to Check First

Start with a proper diagnostic scan, not a parts cannon. Read the ABS fault codes and live wheel-speed data to see which corner is misbehaving. Then inspect that wheel's sensor, connector, and wiring for corrosion, damage, or looseness. Clean the sensor mounting face and check the reluctor ring for cracks or debris. A multimeter or oscilloscope can confirm the sensor signal; also verify battery voltage and charging, because low voltage can trigger false ABS warnings.

• First: Scan ABS codes and compare live wheel speeds.
• Next: Inspect the flagged sensor, plug, and harness.
• Then: Check the reluctor ring and wheel bearing.
• Also: Test battery/charging voltage.

Is It Safe to Keep Driving?

If the ABS light is on steadily and the red brake warning light is off, your normal brakes should still work — but ABS is disabled. That means you can drive cautiously to a garage, but avoid wet, icy, or loose surfaces and leave extra stopping distance. If the red brake light is also on, the pedal feels strange, or you hear grinding, stop driving and get it recovered. Don't ignore a continuous ABS light; a cheap sensor fix today can prevent a much bigger bill later.
