| Circuit | Description |
|---|---|
| Signal | The sensor produces a frequency modulated signal. |
| Low Reference | Grounded through the control module. |
| 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. |
| K160 Brake System Control Module | The control module K160 can increase and decrease the brake pressure on all 4 wheels individually in order to fulfill these functions:
The control module K160 can also influence the following control modules to limit the amount of produced torque:
