Circuit/System Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2022 Cadillac CT4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The wheel speeds are detected by active wheel speed sensors and encoder rings. The encoder rings consist of permanent magnets located in the hub. As the wheel spins the magnetic encoder ring rotates and passes by the wheel speed sensor head; which generates a sign wave in the wheel speed sensor. Each wheel speed sensor receives ignition voltage from the brake system control module and provides an alternating current square wave signal to the brake system control module. The brake system control module uses the frequency of the signals to calculate the wheel speeds.
