Rear Wheel Speed Sensor
REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSORDESCRIPTION
A wheel speed sensor is used at each rear wheel. The gear type tone wheel serves as the trigger mechanism for each of the front wheel speed sensors.
OPERATION
The sensors convert wheel speed into a digital signal. The CAB sends 12 volts to the sensors. The sensor has an internal magneto resistance bridge that alters the voltage and amperage of the signal circuit. This voltage and amperage is changed by magnetic induction when the toothed tone wheel passes the wheel speed sensor. This digital signal is sent to the CAB. The CAB measures the voltage and amperage of the digital signal for each wheel.
