C1414 on Citroen
Left Front Wheel Speed Sensor Output Malfunction
C1414 on Citroen vehicles indicates left front wheel speed sensor output malfunction. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Citroen model — most commonly on C3. 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. Typical repair costs on Citroen range from $300 to $900, depending on the specific model and root cause.
