The wheel speed sensor and encoder (tone wheel) generate a square wave signal proportional to wheel speed and sends this information to the ABS module. The wheel bearing, encoder and wheel speed sensor must be undamaged and free from contamination to produce a clean signal for use by the ABS module. Also, all 4 tires and wheels must be of the same manufacturer recommended size for the wheel speed sensor to generate an accurate wheel speed.
