Wheel Speed Sensor: Description and Operation

DESCRIPTION

The ABS sensor detects wheel speed and consists of a permanent magnet, coil, tone wheel, etc. The magnetic flux produced by the permanent
magnet varies with the tone wheel (which rotates together with the wheel) and the sensor emits an alternating voltage corresponding with the wheel
speed by electromagnetic induction.
