Normal Operation
Active wheel speed sensors generate a square wave signal that is sent to the ABS module. The wheel speed sensor circuitry connects to the ABS module through 2 wires and a connector at each wheel speed sensor. When the ignition switch is turned to the RUN position, the ABS module carries out a self-test by sending a reference voltage through the wheel speed sensors and their circuitry to determine if they are functional.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Wheel speed sensors
- ABS module
