Lynk & Co 06 ABS Light Stays On? Diagnosing Wheel Speed Sensor Faults

If the ABS light on your Lynk & Co 06 has come on and won't shut off, you're not alone. In most cases, this points to a fault in one of the wheel speed sensors — the small magnetic units that monitor how fast each wheel is turning. The good news is that on many models the sensor is available as a separate part, so a full hub assembly usually isn't needed. Still, it's worth confirming the exact replacement part and procedure for your specific model year.

What usually causes the ABS light to stay on?

• A damaged or contaminated wheel speed sensor tip
• Frayed wiring or a corroded connector near the sensor
• Excessive air gap between the sensor and the toothed reluctor ring
• A chipped, rusted, or bent reluctor ring — note that in some cases this ring is part of the hub, but the sensor itself is still separate
• A fault in the ABS module or its power/ground supply, though this is less common

Which parts should you check first?

Begin with a diagnostic scan that reads the ABS fault codes — that usually tells you which wheel circuit is misbehaving. Next, visually inspect that wheel's sensor wiring and connector for damage, then remove the sensor if needed and check the face for metal debris or wear. In many cases, cleaning or replacing the individual sensor is all that's required. Only if a worn wheel bearing has damaged the sensor's mounting surface would you consider replacing the hub assembly as a fallback.

Is it safe to keep driving?

Your regular hydraulic brakes will still work, but the ABS light means the anti-lock function is disabled. On wet or slippery pavement, the wheels may lock up more easily, and you may also notice that traction control or stability assist isn't available. For most driving, it's safe to bring the car to a shop under gentle braking, but avoid hard stops and high-speed driving until the system is checked.
