This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
This code means that the car's computer is having trouble understanding the signals from the sensor that tells it how fast the right front wheel is spinning.
The vehicle's computer is detecting an inconsistency or mismatch in the signals from the right front wheel speed sensor, which affects the vehicle's ability to accurately measure wheel speed.
The C065D code indicates that the signal from the right front wheel speed sensor is not correlating properly with expected values. This could be due to a faulty sensor, wiring issues, or problems with the wheel speed sensor circuit.
• ABS warning light on
• Inconsistent speedometer readings
• Reduced braking performance

Sensor Issue
• Have the vehicle inspected by a professional if the ABS light is on.
• Avoid driving in harsh conditions until the issue is resolved.
Check with the vehicle manufacturer for warranty coverage on ABS components.
This code has been historically associated with sensor malfunctions and wiring issues in vehicles with advanced ABS systems.
Moderate – It is important to address this issue to ensure proper braking performance.
Driving with a malfunctioning ABS system can compromise vehicle safety. It is recommended to fix this issue promptly.
• Vehicle parked on a level surface
• Engine off and key in the accessory position
The right front wheel speed sensor is located near the wheel hub of the right front wheel.
Q: Can I drive with a C065D code?
A: While you can drive with this code, it's not recommended as it can affect braking performance.
Q: How do I reset the ABS light after fixing the issue?
A: After repairs, use an OBD-II scanner to clear the code and reset the ABS light.
