Wheel Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
Rear Wheel Antilock Brakes
Rear Wheel Speed Sensor Location
The rear Wheel Speed Sensor (WSS) is mounted in the rear differential housing. The WSS consists of a magnet surrounded by windings from a single
strand of wire. The sensor sends a small AC signal to the CAB. This signal is generated by magnetic induction. The magnetic induction is created
when a toothed sensor ring (exciter ring or tone wheel) passes the stationary magnetic WSS.
Exciter Ring Location
The exciter ring is press fitted onto the differential carrier next to the final drive ring gear. For replacement procedure of the exciter ring, refer to
Transmission and Drivetrain.
