This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
This code means there's a problem with the sensor that tells the car how fast the front right wheel is spinning.
The C0035 code is triggered when the vehicle's control module detects a problem with the right front wheel speed sensor or its circuit.
The right front wheel speed sensor is part of the anti-lock braking system (ABS). It monitors the speed of the wheel and sends this information to the ABS control module. If the sensor fails or there is an issue with its electrical supply, the ABS system may not function properly.
