Sensor, Wheel Speed, Rear: Description
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
The antilock brake system uses two-wire wheel speed sensors, known as active wheel speed sensors. The sensors use an electronic principle known as magnetoresistive to help increase performance and durability. The sensors convert wheel speed into a small digital signal. A Wheel Speed Sensor (WSS) is used at each wheel. A magnetic pole encoder serves as the trigger mechanism for each sensor. At each wheel of the vehicle there is one wheel speed sensor and one encoder.
The rear wheel speed sensor head is secured to the spindle assembly by a bolt (2). The encoder is integral to the hub and bearing assembly. The encoder is serviced as part of the rear hub and bearing.
The WSS air gaps are not adjustable.
