This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
This code means that the car's computer is having trouble getting information from the sensor that tells how fast the back right wheel is spinning.
The wheel speed sensor helps the car's computer know how fast each wheel is turning. This code indicates a problem with the electrical circuit for the sensor on the rear right wheel.
The P14F6 code is triggered when the Engine Control Module (ECM) detects a low voltage in the circuit of the rear right wheel speed sensor. This can affect the vehicle's anti-lock braking system (ABS) and traction control system.
• ABS warning light on
• Traction control light on
• Inconsistent speedometer readings
• Faulty rear right wheel speed sensor
• Damaged wiring or connectors
• Bad connection at the sensor or ECM
ECM: Engine Control Module
ABS: Anti-lock Braking System
• Inspect the rear right wheel speed sensor for damage.
• Check the wiring and connectors for signs of wear or corrosion.
• Use a multimeter to test the sensor's voltage output.
• Replace the faulty wheel speed sensor.
• Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors.
• Ensure all connections are secure and free of corrosion.
• Multimeter
• OBD-II scanner
• Basic hand tools

Moderate
• Toyota Camry
• Honda Accord
• Ford F-150
• Regularly inspect wheel speed sensors and wiring.
• Avoid driving in harsh conditions that can damage sensors.
• Perform routine vehicle maintenance.
Sensor Issue
• Have the vehicle inspected by a professional if warning lights appear.
• Do not ignore ABS or traction control warnings.
• Schedule regular maintenance checks.
Check vehicle warranty for coverage on sensor repairs.
This code has been associated with sensor failures in vehicles with high mileage or those exposed to harsh conditions.
Moderate – While the vehicle may still be drivable, it is important to address this issue to ensure proper ABS and traction control function.
Driving with a faulty wheel speed sensor can impact vehicle safety systems. Ensure repairs are made promptly.
• Vehicle stationary
• Ignition on
The rear right wheel speed sensor is located near the brake rotor on the rear right wheel.
Q: Can I drive with a P14F6 code?
A: It's possible, but not recommended as it can affect safety systems like ABS and traction control.
Q: How do I reset the code?
A: After repairs, use an OBD-II scanner to clear the code from the vehicle's computer.
