Parameters, value

Wheel speed




Measurement range: 0- 653.8 km/h.
The engine control module (ECM) derives wheel speed from the relevant wheel sensor signal.

Extrapolation counter
Measurement range: 0- 255
The normal value if the car is driven should be 0. The extrapolation counter calculates if the number of wheel speed changes are higher than the number allowed.
If the signal from the wheel sensor is affected by electromagnetic interference, varies too much or is affected by short intermittent open-circuit/short circuits, the control module can interpret it as a speed change and the counter will begin updating. When the control module registers that speed changes are within the permitted values the counter value will reduce again.

Wheel acceleration
Measurement range: - 1.28 - +1.27g
Positive value: acceleration
Negative value: deceleration
The control module derives the wheel acceleration/deceleration from the relevant wheel sensor signal.
The value can vary a great deal depending on the road surface An uneven road gives greater variation.

Vehicle reference speed
Measurement range: 0- 653.8 km/h
The control module derives the reference speed from all the wheel sensor signals.

Vehicle speed CAN signal
Measurement range:0.60- 653.80 km/h
The control module derives the vehicle speed based on the wheel sensor signal and transmits it over the Control area network (CAN).
The vehicle speed signal which is transmitted over the Control area network (CAN).

The vehicle acceleration
Measurement range: -1.28 - +1.27g
Positive value: acceleration
Negative value: deceleration
The control module derives the reference acceleration/deceleration from the relevant wheel sensor signal.

The brake disc temperature
Front brake disc temperature.
Measurement range: 0.0-450°C (32-842°F)
The control module derives the brake disc temperature depending on the length of time the anti-spin system has been operating or the ABS has been activated.

Power supply
ABS control module power supply.
Measurement range: 0- 16 V
