This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
This means that the car's computer is getting a signal from the front right wheel that is too strong. It's like when you turn the volume up too high on a radio and it sounds distorted.
The P14F3 code indicates that the signal voltage from the front right wheel speed sensor is higher than expected, which could be due to a short circuit or a faulty sensor.
The wheel speed sensor is responsible for sending data about the speed of the wheel to the vehicle's computer. A 'Circuit High' condition means that the voltage level from the sensor is above the normal operating range, which can affect systems like ABS and traction control.

Moderate
• Honda Accord
• Toyota Camry
• Ford Focus
• Regularly inspect wheel speed sensors and wiring.
• Avoid driving through deep water.
• Keep connectors clean and dry.
Sensor Issue
• Avoid hard braking until the issue is fixed.
• Get the vehicle checked by a professional as soon as possible.
Check with your vehicle manufacturer as wheel speed sensors might be covered under warranty.
Wheel speed sensor issues have been common in vehicles with advanced braking systems, especially those with high mileage.
Moderate – While the vehicle is still drivable, the ABS and traction control systems may not function properly.
Driving with a malfunctioning ABS can increase stopping distances and affect vehicle safety.
• Vehicle parked on a level surface
• Ignition in the 'On' position
The wheel speed sensor is located near the brake rotor on the front right wheel.
Q: Can I drive with a P14F3 code?
A: Yes, but it's not recommended as your ABS and traction control may not work properly.
Q: How do I reset the P14F3 code?
A: After repairs, use an OBD-II scanner to clear the code. If the issue is fixed, it should not return.
Pro · Four-system diagnostics
A handheld scanner aimed at engine, transmission, ABS, and airbag diagnostic work.
Chassis and ABS faults usually need a scanner that can read brake-system data directly.
