This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
The car's computer can't talk to the sensor that tells it how fast the right front wheel is spinning.
This code indicates a problem with the electrical circuit of the right front wheel speed sensor, which is not sending signals to the vehicle's control module.
The right front wheel speed sensor is responsible for providing the vehicle's control module with data on the rotational speed of the wheel. A 'Circuit/Open' issue means that there is a break or disconnection in the electrical circuit, preventing the sensor from sending signals.
• ABS warning light illuminated
• Traction control system malfunction
• Inconsistent speedometer readings
• Faulty wheel speed sensor
• Damaged wiring or connectors
• Corroded electrical connections
OBD-II: On-Board Diagnostics, a standardized system in vehicles for self-diagnosing and reporting
ABS: Anti-lock Braking System, a safety system that prevents wheels from locking up during braking
• Inspect the right front wheel speed sensor for damage.
• Check the wiring and connectors for signs of wear or corrosion.
• Use a multimeter to test the sensor's electrical circuit for continuity.
• Replace the faulty wheel speed sensor.
• Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors.
• Clean corroded connections and apply dielectric grease.
• Multimeter
• Socket set
• Jack and jack stands

Moderate
• Chevrolet Silverado
• GMC Sierra
• Cadillac Escalade
• Regularly inspect wheel speed sensors and wiring.
• Avoid driving through deep water which can corrode connections.
• Keep the undercarriage clean to prevent dirt buildup.
Sensor Issue
• Do not ignore the ABS warning light.
• Have the vehicle inspected by a professional if unsure about DIY repairs.
Check with the vehicle manufacturer for specific warranty coverage on sensors.
This code has been common in vehicles with high mileage or those frequently driven in harsh conditions.
Moderate – The vehicle can still be driven, but safety features like ABS may not function properly.
Driving with a malfunctioning ABS system can increase stopping distances and affect vehicle control.
• Vehicle parked on a level surface.
• Ignition turned off.
The right front wheel speed sensor is located near the wheel hub assembly on the passenger side.
Q: Can I drive with a C0658 code?
A: Yes, but it's not recommended as the ABS may not work properly.
Q: How do I know if the wheel speed sensor is bad?
A: Look for symptoms like the ABS light being on or erratic speedometer readings.
