REAR RIGHT • AWD / 4WD • ONE SENSOR ASSEMBLY

Rear-right ABS wheel-speed sensor replacement may be needed when the ABS or traction-control warning stays on, wheel-speed data drops out, or braking intervention occurs unexpectedly on a 2007–2008 Dodge Caliber R/T AWD, 2007–2014 Jeep Compass 4WD, or 2007–2014 Jeep Patriot 4WD with a 2.4L gasoline engine. Relevant right-rear faults include C102B, C1032, C1035 and C1044, depending on the ABS controller. These symptoms and codes do not prove the sensor has failed: wiring, connector, tire, hub and encoder problems can produce similar results.

This guide covers the AWD/4WD rear-right assembly whose sensor head clips into the hub and whose cable connects inside the rear cargo area. Confirm the VIN, drivetrain, side and original part number before ordering. “Right” means the vehicle’s right side when facing forward—passenger side on these U.S. vehicles.

Featured rear-right replacement sensor

A-Premium rear passenger ABS wheel-speed sensor — ASIN B01IA34OXM. The selected variation is one rear-right sensor assembly with included wiring harness and a two-pin connector, for the listed AWD/4WD applications. The Amazon-associated manufacturer number is APABS0002AM; A-Premium’s matching catalog entry is ABS0002. Listed OE references are 05105064AA / 5105064AA.

Before ordering, confirm that the listing specifies one rear-right AWD/4WD sensor for OE 05105064AA. Compare connector keying, cable length, grommet and routing attachments with the original assembly. Do not assume new clamp screws, every routing clip or a body-side repair connector are included. This is not a rear-left sensor or a pair.

Fitment and assembly details: A-Premium catalog. Mopar lists 5105064AB as the replacement for 5105064AA; that OE supersession does not extend this featured aftermarket item’s listed years.

Vehicle compatibility: U.S. gasoline applications

VehicleModel yearsEngineRequired configuration / position
Dodge Caliber2007–20082.4L naturally aspirated gasoline I4R/T AWD; rear right
Jeep Compass2007–20142.4L gasoline I44WD; rear right
Jeep Patriot2007–20142.4L gasoline I44WD; rear right

A 2.4L engine or trim badge alone does not establish compatibility. Front-wheel-drive versions are outside this item’s listing. U.S. 2.0L gasoline versions are not the 4WD application shown here. Diesel/export variants require separate confirmation. The catalog ends with the 2014 model year for these Jeeps and states no within-year build-date restriction. Later models require separate fitment confirmation.

Diagnose the fault before buying a sensor

Start with an ABS-capable scanner and save the original codes and available fault data. Match the code description to the exact model year and ABS controller. A basic engine-code reader may not reach the ABS module. These factory right-rear code descriptions identify the affected circuit or signal:

CodeFactory descriptionCheck beyond the sensor
C102BRight-rear wheel-speed sensor circuitConnector terminals, cable opens/shorts and circuit supply.
C1032Right-rear wheel-speed sensor signal erratic performanceLoose sensor retention, chafed wiring, hub/encoder condition and bearing play.
C1035Right-rear wheel-speed comparative performanceTire size/pressure differences and disagreement between wheel-speed signals.
C1044Right-rear tone-wheel performanceRepeating signal loss or encoder/hub damage; not an automatic sensor diagnosis.
  • Inspect the cargo-area connector, body grommet and cable route for moisture, corrosion, pulled terminals, rubbing or impact damage. Repair the actual fault before replacing otherwise functional parts.
  • Compare all four wheel-speed signals using the applicable diagnostic procedure. Have an assistant drive or use a recording function; the driver must not watch the scanner. Do not road-test a vehicle with unsafe braking.
  • Check matching tire sizes, correct inflation, bearing condition and secure sensor seating. This AWD/4WD hub uses an integrated magnetic encoder, not an exposed toothed ring that should be scraped clean.
  • Use the exact circuit test procedure for electrical measurements. Do not apply battery voltage to the sensor or improvise ABS wiring splices. Detailed terminal testing belongs with someone who has the correct wiring information and test equipment.

Conditional replacement parts: damaged routing clips, clamp screws, a body-side connector/harness or a hub/bearing require VIN-specific identification. Obtain the correct replacements before reassembly. The normal sensor-only job does not open brake hydraulics or require brake fluid, caliper tools, a hub puller, grease or anti-seize.

DIY versus professional cost

These are planning examples in U.S. dollars, not live product prices, factory labor times or guaranteed shop quotes. They assume one accessible sensor and no hub, wiring or corrosion repair.

Cost itemDIY planning allowanceProfessional example
One sensor$20–$70$40–$140
Consumables$0–$20$5–$25
Mechanical laborYour time: about 1.5–3 hours1–1.5 hours × $100–$150/hour = $100–$225
DiagnosisUse a covered scanner; paid diagnosis extra$80–$180, unless included in the repair quote

Tools, if starting from scratchBudget roughly $350–$900 separately for lifting, hand tools, torque tools and a covered scannerNormally part of the shop’s equipment

A damaged hub retainer, seized clamp screw or harness fault changes both the repair and the budget. Ask whether a shop’s diagnostic charge is credited toward the work.

Step-by-step replacement overview

The following sequence covers the clipped-in rear sensor arrangement on the listed AWD/4WD vehicles. Cargo trim and optional audio equipment change access. Keep the correct model-year service information available; if the mount or cable arrangement differs, stop and identify it before removing parts.

1. Record the fault and prepare the vehicle

Save codes and wheel-speed findings before clearing anything. Park on hard, level ground, apply the parking brake and select Park for an automatic or the owner-manual parking gear for a manual. Turn the ignition off. Chock the grounded front wheels in both directions. Loosen the right-rear wheel nuts slightly while the tire remains on the ground.

2. Disconnect the interior sensor connector

Open the cargo floor cover and locate the right-rear sensor connector through the lower rear-quarter trim opening. Earlier arrangements may require lifting the floor silencer and unfastening an obstructing satellite receiver or amplifier from the floor. Move equipment only as needed, without straining its wires or disturbing airbag wiring. Release any secondary lock, press the connector latch and separate the housings; do not pull the cable.

3. Raise and securely support the vehicle

Use the service contact areas marked 2 in the Compass/Patriot factory hoisting diagram or Caliber factory hoisting diagram. Do not jack on suspension components, an assumed differential point, or midway between the wheels to raise an entire side. Confirm sound contact areas and compatible saddles. Follow the jack and stand instructions, using the matched stands to support the rear at approved locations. If you cannot place the jack and stands safely at the designated areas, use a properly equipped shop. Establish stable support before reaching underneath, then remove the right-rear wheel.

4. Free the cable and release the old sensor

Record the original cable route and clip positions. Release the body grommet and withdraw the disconnected sensor lead through the opening. Release the outer frame-rail clip, remove the rear crossmember harness-clamp screw, then release the trailing-link routing clip and its clamp screw. Carefully unclip the sensor head from the spring retainer at the back of the hub/bearing. Remove the complete sensor lead without pulling on surrounding wiring. The healthy sensor-only repair leaves the caliper, rotor, axle and hub installed.

5. Inspect the retainer, hub and replacement assembly

Compare the old and new connector, lead, grommet and routing attachments. Check the hub/bearing for damage or looseness and inspect the sensor seat and magnetic encoder area without scraping it. The sensor must sit securely with no play. A deformed retainer requires hub/bearing replacement under the factory procedure; the retainer is not serviced separately. Do not bend it into a guess-fit shape, glue the head, shim the air gap or substitute a self-tapping fastener. The sensor gap is not adjustable.

6. Seat the new head and fasten the harness

Clip the sensor into its retainer with its flat surface toward the rear face of the bearing. Confirm full, secure seating. Restore the trailing-link cable route, clip and clamp; tighten the clamp screw to 18 N·m (13 ft-lb). Refit the crossmember clamp and tighten its screw to the same 18 N·m. Reinstall the frame-rail routing clip. These values apply to the two harness clamps—there is no sensor-head bolt to torque.

7. Seal the body opening and reconnect

Feed the connector through the body opening toward the shock tower so it can be reached from inside. Fully seat the grommet to keep water out. Follow the original protected route, allowing suspension movement without stretching the cable or letting it rub the tire, axle, spring or exhaust. With the ignition still off, reconnect and lock the interior plug. Secure any displaced equipment and restore insulation and cargo trim. Stop for a broken clamp or retainer instead of leaving the cable unsecured.

8. Refit the wheel

Inspect and clean wheel seating surfaces and wheel-nut threads; do not oil them. Install the wheel, hand-start each nut and snug evenly. Remove supports and lower the vehicle under control using the approved lifting points. Tighten the wheel nuts in a star pattern to 135 N·m (100 ft-lb) with the vehicle lowered as the owner manual directs. The 2014 Compass owner manual calls for another torque check after 25 miles (40 km); follow the applicable owner-manual interval for the vehicle.

9. Verify ABS operation and the original repair

Confirm all connectors are secure and base braking is sound. With a charged battery and accessories off, turn the ignition on and use the covered scanner to clear the recorded faults from all applicable modules after repair. The cited 2007 Compass/Patriot ABS verification sequence then runs the engine for two minutes, switches the ignition off for five seconds, turns it back on and rescans. Follow the exact vehicle’s verification procedure where it differs. Diagnose returning faults before continuing.

In that factory test, some sensor-signal faults require the module to see all four wheels reach 12 km/h (7.5 mph) before the ABS light clears. A lamp that stays on at rest therefore needs scan-data evaluation, not another guessed part. Only when safe, compare all four signals during a controlled drive and complete the applicable verification. The cited test includes at least five minutes of driving and controlled ABS stops; use a suitable safe test area and qualified help where needed. Never attempt abrupt test stops in traffic. Finish with an all-module scan and confirm the original symptom is gone.

Procedure and specifications: Compass/Patriot removal, Compass/Patriot installation, 2008 Patriot 4WD installation; Caliber AWD installation for the sensor and trailing-link clamp, crossmember clamp and wheel nuts and interior connector; 2014 Compass owner manual; factory ABS verification test.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Ordering by model name alone: this item is rear right and AWD/4WD only, within its listed years.
  • Replacing a sensor solely because a code names that wheel, without checking wiring, tires or the hub encoder.
  • Trying to torque the clipped sensor head, confusing in-lb with ft-lb, or overtightening the two harness clamps.
  • Ignoring a loose hub retainer, leaving a body grommet unseated or routing the cable where suspension travel pulls it.
  • Clearing codes without saving them first, or declaring success before checking live signals and returning faults.

Frequently asked questions

Should both rear sensors be replaced together?

This listing contains one rear-right assembly. Replace the component proven faulty; a working left-side sensor does not automatically need replacement. The opposite side needs its own correct part.

Does the new wheel-speed sensor need programming?

The cited sensor replacement procedure does not specify coding a replacement sensor. ABS-module, steering-angle and dynamics-sensor replacement can involve separate initialization. Sensor replacement still requires code checks and functional verification.

Why can the ABS light return after a new sensor?

Possible causes include an incompletely latched connector, damaged body wiring, incorrect cable routing, a loose head or a hub/encoder problem. Re-read the codes and compare signals instead of repeatedly replacing the sensor.

Can this part fit a front-wheel-drive or 2015–2017 Jeep?

Those applications are outside this featured item’s verified listing. Similar appearance and a broader OE supersession page do not establish compatibility. Check the exact VIN and part specification before choosing another application.
