Vehicle Speed Sensor: Description and Operation

VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR





The speed sensor for ABS detects the wheel speed and sends the appropriate signals to the skid control computer ASSY. The ECU converts these signals into a 4-pulse signal and outputs it to the combination meter.
After this signal is converted into a more precise rectangular waveform by the waveform shaping circuit inside the combination meter, it is then transmitted to the ECM. The ECM determines the vehicle speed based on the frequency of these pulse signals.
