Wheel Speed Sensor: Description and Operation

PURPOSE

A variable reluctance sensor and toothed speed indicator ring used to determine wheel speed.

OPERATION

As the ring teeth pass by the reluctance sensor, a pulsing voltage signal is generated and sent to the antilock brake system control module. Voltage
pulses are directly proportional to rotational wheel speed.
