Four Wheel Antilock Brakes

The all wheel Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) uses three wheel speed sensors; a single sensor for both rear wheels and individual sensors for the front wheels. The single sensor used for the rear wheels mounts on the top of the rear axle differential housing. Each sensor converts wheel speed into an electrical signal that it transmits to the ABS control module. A pair of twisted wires connect to each sensor and provide signals to the ABS control module.
