wheel speed sensor

A **wheel speed sensor** is an essential automotive component that monitors the rotational speed of a vehicle’s wheels. It plays a crucial role in various vehicle systems, including anti-lock braking systems (ABS), traction control, and stability control, by providing real-time data that helps maintain safety and performance. Wheel speed sensors detect wheel speed through magnetic or Hall effect technology and transmit this information to the vehicle’s electronic control unit (ECU). Proper functioning of these sensors is vital for accurate wheel speed measurement and overall vehicle safety.
