What the code means

How to read C0210: the letter C means chassis (brakes, ABS, steering, suspension); the second digit 0 marks a generic SAE code shared by all makes; the last three characters 210 identify the specific fault.

ABS/ESC codes: wheel speed sensors, the ABS hydraulic unit and pump, brake booster, pressure and yaw sensors. A hit to a wheel or suspension often damages the wheel speed sensor or its wiring, so on a damaged car this code is a reason to inspect the hub, knuckle and control arms, not just swap the sensor.

The maintenance "!", "brake drum", "trac" and "abs" warning lights illuminated. An obd2 code check was performed and a diagnostic code "C0210 rh rear speed sensor circuit" was returned. Authorized toyota dealer/service replaced the right rear speed sensor and hub. Warning signals reset was attempted, but failed.

Salt and snow causes error codes C0210, rear speed sensor rh circuit to malfunction and shuts down the abs, traction control, and air bag deployment. All safety devices are off when salt is used on roadways.

Abs and brake lights came on. The mechanic tells me that both rear abs sensors are bad (codes C0210 and C0215). This is a toyota corolla 2009 le with only 81k miles and I hear the same problem exists in some friend's cars.
