Component	Description
B5 Wheel Speed Sensor	The sensor contains a hall-effect sensor and additional electronics that processes the signal. It detects the change of strength of the magnetic field caused by the reluctor ring. When the strength changes, the sensor changes the amount of current it consumes. This results in a square wave signal of current and voltage. The control module detects the frequency in which the signal changes, which is proportional to the rotational speed.

Description

B5 Wheel Speed Sensor

The sensor contains a hall-effect sensor and additional electronics that processes the signal. It detects the change of strength of the magnetic field caused by the reluctor ring. When the strength changes, the sensor changes the amount of current it consumes. This results in a square wave signal of current and voltage. The control module detects the frequency in which the signal changes, which is proportional to the rotational speed.

K160 Brake System Control Module

The control module K160 uses the input signal from the sensor B5 to determine the wheel speed.
