– ABS speed sensors are devices fitted to a vehicle’s wheels to monitor wheel speed, which is then relayed to the vehicle’s ABS system.
– The ABS system uses this information to reduce wheel lockup and improve vehicle stability during braking.
– The ABS speed sensor is responsible for detecting the speed of the wheel it is attached to.
– The sensor sends a signal to the ABS system, which uses this information to determine if the wheel is locking up.
– If the wheel is locking up, the ABS system will reduce brake pressure to that wheel.
– ABS speed sensors are typically made of plastic or metal and are located near the wheel’s hub.
– They are exposed to high levels of stress and vibration.
– As a result, they can fail over time and need to be replaced.
