C0055 on Land Rover
Rear Wheel Speed Sensor Circuit
C0055 on Land Rover vehicles indicates rear wheel speed sensor circuit. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Land Rover model — most commonly on Range Rover Sport. This chassis code means the ABS/control module detected a problem with the rear wheel-speed sensor signal circuit. Wheel-speed sensors tell the module how fast each wheel is turning so it can manage anti-lock braking, traction, and stability control; on many GM trucks and SUVs this code points to a single rear/output speed sensor at the transmission or transfer case. A lost or erratic signal typically disables ABS and traction control (warning lights on), affecting braking safety, so it should be addressed promptly. Typical repair costs on Land Rover range from $600 to $1,800, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of C0055
- •Faulty rear/vehicle speed sensor
- •Damaged, corroded, or open sensor wiring and connector
- •Debris or damage on the reluctor/tone ring
- •Excessive air gap or sensor mounting issue
- •Poor ground or shorted circuit
- •Faulty ABS/EBCM module (less common)
C0055 on Land Rover by Model
Land Rover Range Rover Sport(1 issue)
- Electric Parking Brake Actuator Failure2014-2022
The electric parking brake (EPB) actuator motors on the L494 Range Rover Sport fail prematurely, leaving the parking brake either stuck engaged or unable to hold the vehicle. The actuator motors are exposed to road salt and moisture, causing internal corrosion and motor burnout. The EPB system also integrates with the auto-hold hill start feature, so failures affect drivability.
