Wheel speed sensors

Summary
Wheel speed sensors consist of a toothed rotor and a pickup. Wheel rotation sends input signals to the ECU, which processes them and controls the hydraulic control unit.
Wheel speed sensors

A wheel sensor consists of a toothed rotor that rotates with the wheels, and a pickup. As each tooth of the rotor passes the pickup, a small voltage is induced in the pickup.

These pulses are sent as input signals to the electronic control unit which processes them, to operate the hydraulic control unit.
