Wheel Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
Front
The anti-lock brake system operates as follows:
-
It uses four variable-reluctance brake anti-lock sensors and brake anti-lock sensor indicators to determine the rotational speed of each wheel.
-
Sensors operate on magnetic induction principle.
-
As the teeth on the brake anti-lock sensor indicators rotate past the brake anti-lock sensors, a signal proportional to the speed of the rotation is
generated and sent to the anti-lock brake control module through a twisted pair harness.
The anti-lock brake control module front brake anti-lock sensors are bolted to the front wheel knuckles. The front brake anti-lock sensor indicators are
pressed onto the outer CV joints.
