C0035 on Honda
Left Front Wheel Speed Sensor Circuit
C0035 on Honda vehicles indicates left front wheel speed sensor circuit. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Honda model — most commonly on Passport. This chassis code indicates a fault in the left front wheel speed sensor circuit. Each wheel has a speed sensor that tells the ABS, traction control, and stability control systems how fast that wheel is turning; the control module sets this code when the signal from the left front sensor is missing, erratic, or out of range. Without a valid reading, the computer can't safely operate anti-lock braking and related systems, so it usually disables ABS and traction/stability control and lights the corresponding dashboard warnings (normal braking still works). It generally points to the sensor itself, its wiring, or the toothed reluctor ring it reads. Typical repair costs on Honda range from $150 to $1,200, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of C0035
- •Faulty left front wheel speed sensor
- •Damaged sensor wiring or connector (road debris, corrosion)
- •Metal debris or rust on the sensor tip or air gap
- •Damaged or cracked tone/reluctor ring
- •Loose or improperly seated sensor
- •Corroded or loose wheel bearing with integrated sensor
- •Open or short in the sensor circuit
- •Faulty ABS control module (less common)

Honda Passport(2 issues)
- ABS Hydraulic Unit / Wheel Speed Sensor Faults Causing ABS Warning Lights and Loss of Anti-Lock Function2000-2002
Multiple Passport owners report persistent ABS warning lights, often traced to failed wheel speed sensors, damaged sensor wiring, or faults in the ABS hydraulic control unit. On older rust-belt vehicles, corrosion at connectors and tone ring damage are common contributors. When this occurs, normal braking usually remains, but anti-lock braking is disabled and the warning lamp stays on.
- Front Wheel Bearing Premature Failure2019-2023
Honda Passport front wheel bearings fail prematurely, often between 40,000-80,000 miles. Symptoms include humming/growling noise that increases with speed, steering wheel vibration, and ABS/VSA warning lights. The noise is usually louder when turning (load shifts to one bearing). This is common across Honda's SUV lineup (Pilot, Passport, CR-V). If ignored, a failed wheel bearing can cause the wheel to lock up or separate while driving. Replacement: $300-500 per side (bearing hub assembly).
