It is also called an ABS sensor. Do you know where you will find the sensor? If there is any sensor problem, you must repair or recheck it. It is located on the tire of the left front wheel. There is a bit of difference in the sensor\u2019s location between the front tires and the rare tires. The sensor of the front tires is near the brake rotors. On the other hand, you will get it on the rare end housing for the rare tires.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8485 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/theeffectiveguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Left-Front-Wheel-Speed-Sensor.jpg\" alt=\"What is The Left Front Wheel Speed Sensor\" width=\"760\" height=\"470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theeffectiveguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Left-Front-Wheel-Speed-Sensor.jpg 760w, https:\/\/theeffectiveguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Left-Front-Wheel-Speed-Sensor-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theeffectiveguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Left-Front-Wheel-Speed-Sensor-356x220.jpg 356w, https:\/\/theeffectiveguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Left-Front-Wheel-Speed-Sensor-696x430.jpg 696w, https:\/\/theeffectiveguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Left-Front-Wheel-Speed-Sensor-679x420.jpg 679w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><i>How can the input signal of the left front wheel speed sensor be missing?<\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ABS module works for the perfect braking system of a vehicle. It takes the signal for measuring the wheel speed and gives the brake pressure through the speed measurement. The sensor ring has a magnetic field. The wheel speed sensor can detect the area to pass the face of the active wheel speed sensor. Thus, it affects the ABS to give the perfect brake pressure for an effective braking system.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The input signal of the speed sensor is so valuable for efficient braking. The signal goes to the ABS to measure the speed and maintain the appropriate pressure for braking the vehicle. Suppose the car is going at an over speed. Can your braking system control it by giving a little pressure? Not at all, because the braking system must have the ability to stop the car with the whole brake pressure. So, the ABS signal helps it apply adequate force to stop the vehicle quickly. The lack of correlation between the sensor and ABS occurs in the absence of the input signal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><i>The Common Causes of The Trouble Code C1233<\/i><\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The OBD II trouble code C1233 is related to the input signal of the left front wheel speed sensor. It is harmful to a vehicle. The issue can destroy your life by presenting a wrong signal. Can you imagine what can happen if the sensor cannot identify the brake pressure and the ABS can not brake forcefully? The system will not be able to brake the vehicle when you need it strongly. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here I am presenting some common causes and problematic situations of the C1233.<\/span><b><i><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h4><b><i>Damaged Wheel Speed Sensor<\/i><\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The damaged or faulty wheel speed sensors can not work perfectly. They are the reason for causing harmful effects to the vehicle. As a damaged sensor can not identify the signal correctly, it is also a significant reason for missing the input signal. Consequently, the ABS fails to control the vehicle instantly.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8487 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/theeffectiveguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Damaged-Wheel-Speed-Sensor.jpg\" alt=\"Damage Wheel Speed Sensor\" width=\"760\" height=\"470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theeffectiveguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Damaged-Wheel-Speed-Sensor.jpg 760w, https:\/\/theeffectiveguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Damaged-Wheel-Speed-Sensor-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theeffectiveguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Damaged-Wheel-Speed-Sensor-356x220.jpg 356w, https:\/\/theeffectiveguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Damaged-Wheel-Speed-Sensor-696x430.jpg 696w, https:\/\/theeffectiveguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Damaged-Wheel-Speed-Sensor-679x420.jpg 679w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/span><b><i><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/theeffectiveguide.com\/u0121-code-fix\/\" target=\"_blank\"><b><i>Failed ABS Control Module<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ABS control module is essential for the effective braking system of the ABS. It is a microprocessor in a vehicle. The module works for checking the vehicle&#8217;s speed and the power of the ABS. Then it adjusts the ABS power with the vehicle\u2019s speed. When the control module becomes damaged or fails to work, the input signal becomes missing. Thus the OBD II scanner shows the error code C1233.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8488 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/theeffectiveguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Failed-ABS-Control-Module.jpg\" alt=\"ABS Control Module\" width=\"760\" height=\"470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theeffectiveguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Failed-ABS-Control-Module.jpg 760w, https:\/\/theeffectiveguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Failed-ABS-Control-Module-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theeffectiveguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Failed-ABS-Control-Module-356x220.jpg 356w, https:\/\/theeffectiveguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Failed-ABS-Control-Module-696x430.jpg 696w, https:\/\/theeffectiveguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Failed-ABS-Control-Module-679x420.jpg 679w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/span><b><i><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h4><b><i>Damaged Reluctor Ring<\/i><\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reluctor ring is mounted on the vehicle&#8217;s wheel and connected to the ABS.
