Most Reported On
C1414 is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code meaning “Left Front Wheel Speed Sensor Output Malfunction.” This chassis code indicates the ABS/traction control module detected an invalid or missing signal from the left front wheel speed sensor. That sensor reports how fast the front-left wheel is turning, which the system needs for anti-lock braking, traction control, and stability control. When the signal is lost or out of range, the computer disables ABS and related safety features and turns on the warning light. Your regular brakes still work, but anti-lock and stability assistance may be unavailable. This code is most commonly reported on 2002-2016 Citroen C3 (Live, Feel), with repair costs ranging from $300 to $900.
