Zeekr 007 ABS Light On? Wheel Speed Sensor Troubleshooting Guide

Why Is the ABS Light On in Your Zeekr 007?

When the ABS warning light stays on continuously, it means the anti-lock brake system has detected a fault and has disabled itself. In most cases on the Zeekr 007, the culprit is a faulty wheel speed sensor. Each wheel has a sensor that monitors rotational speed and sends that data to the ABS control module. If one sensor fails, gets dirty, or loses its connection, the module can't compare wheel speeds, so it triggers the warning. Another common cause is a damaged tone ring or reluctor wheel, which the sensor reads. Wiring harness damage near the suspension or brake components can also break the signal.

What to Check First

Start with the simplest and most common items before replacing anything:

• Scan for trouble codes - Use an OBD-II scanner to read ABS codes. A code like C0031 or similar will tell you which wheel is affected.
• Inspect the wheel speed sensors - Look for visible damage, corrosion, or loose connectors on the sensor wiring at each wheel.
• Check the sensor gap and surface - Remove the sensor and inspect the tip for metal debris or wear. Also check the toothed ring for missing or bent teeth.
• Test the wiring harness - Look for chafed or broken wires, especially near the strut or brake hose where movement occurs.

On the Zeekr 007, the front sensors tend to fail more often due to road debris and salt exposure. If you have recently had brake work done, confirm the sensor wasn't damaged during the service.

Is It Safe to Keep Driving?

You can still drive the Zeekr 007 with the ABS light on, as normal hydraulic braking will continue to work. However, your ABS and electronic stability control are disabled, which means in a panic stop or on slippery surfaces, the wheels can lock up and you may lose steering control. It's also common for traction control to turn off, increasing the risk of wheelspin. I recommend having it diagnosed and repaired as soon as possible, and avoid aggressive driving or high-speed highway travel until the fix is made. If the brake warning light is also on, do not drive the car at all, as that indicates a separate hydraulic problem.
