Wheel Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
ABS
Wheel Sensor
The wheel sensors are the magnetic contact less type. As the gear pulser teeth rotate past the wheel sensor's magnetic coil, AC current is generated.
The AC frequency changes in accordance with the wheel speed. The ABS control unit detects the wheel sensor signal frequency and thereby detects
the wheel speed.
Wheel Speed and Modulator Control
When the wheel speed drops sharply below the vehicle speed, the inlet valve closes to retain the caliper fluid pressure. When the wheel speed drops
further, the outlet valve opens momentarily to reduce the caliper fluid pressure. The pump motor starts at this time. As the wheel speed is restored, the
inlet valve opens momentarily to increase the caliper fluid pressure.
