P215A Severity
Once the vehicle's onboard system no longer detects the issue, most codes will disappear on their own. If your vehicle still has this code, however, it should be properly diagnosed to avoid a more serious problem.
For a proper diagnosis, RepairPal Certified shops have the equipment, tools, and expertise.
Moderate severity codes might not threaten the vehicle's safety or functionality immediately, but you should still get it diagnosed within a reasonable time frame to keep your car running well.
The Vehicle Speed Sensor tells the engine control module (PCM) how fast the vehicle should be going. The Wheel Speed Sensor tells the Anti-lock Brake (ABS) Module how fast each wheel is actually spinning. This information is compared between the PCM and ABS modules. If one or more Wheel Speed Sensors do not match the vehicle speed sensor information, the PCM will set code P215A.
