Wheel Speed Sensor
NOTE:
- Any time a wheel speed sensor is removed, thoroughly clean the mounting surfaces. Apply high-temperature grease to the front wheel speed sensors when installing.
The anti-lock brake system uses 3 variable-reluctance sensors to determine vehicle speed. The wheel speed sensors operate on a magnetic induction principle. As the teeth on the wheel speed sensor ring rotate past the stationary sensor, a signal proportional to the speed of the rotation is generated and sent to the ABS module.
