How does an ABS Sensor Work?

This does depend on the type of ABS Wheel Speed Sensor.

There are two different types of ABS Wheel Speed Sensor - Passive Sensors and Active Sensors.

Passive ABS Sensors

Passive ABS Sensors are made up of a permanent magnet around which a copper wire coil is wound. The sensor is mounted in close proximity to the ABS Reluctor Ring. As the ABS Reluctor Ring rotates, the teeth create a small inductive voltage in the copper windings. This voltage signal is monitored by the vehicle ECU (Vehicle's Computer) and used as wheel speed information. Passive ABS Sensors normally have just two wires - One for Signal and one for Earth and the vehicle will have a metal toothed type ABS Reluctor Ring.

Active ABS Sensors

Active ABS Sensors can be likened to the Hall Type Sensor (used in tachometers). The Active Sensor pick-up has an in-built amplifier and therefore relies on a supply voltage. This is normally 5v but can be 12v. The sensor is mounted in close proximity to the Magnetic ABS Reluctor Ring. The Magnetic type ABS Ring consists of a multi-pole (north/south/north/south...) magnetic ring. More and more vehicles are now being produced with integral ABS within the wheel bearing seal and use magnetic powder instead of fixed magnets. The rotating, alternating, magnetic poles produce a magnetic flux within the sensor element which then amplifies and controls the signal to the ECU (Vehicle's Computer) to use as wheel speed information. The output of an Active Sensor is digital with a square wave signal, being capable of sending wheel information down to 0mph. In contrast, the Passive sensor's accuracy is usually dubious below 20mph. Also, some vehicle manufacturer's now use active sensors that have small aerials built in, to transmit information to the ECU via radio waves. Active Sensors normally have three wires. One is for power, one for Signal and one for Earth. Also, the vehicle will be equipped with a Magnetic type ABS Reluctor Ring or Integral Magnetic type Hub Unit.

Faulty ABS Sensor?

If your vehicle is experiencing any of the following symptoms, we would recommend having the ABS Sensors tested and ABS Reluctor Rings inspected - most garages will do this free of charge for you and will have fitted our pd ABS Sensors and ABS Reluctor Rings previously.

Symptoms

Front Wheel Drive Vehicles:

1) Brake Pedal Juddering at low speed

2) Possible ABS Light ON

Rear Wheel Drive Vehicles:

1) Possible ABS Light ON

2) Possible Brake Warning Light ON

3) Possible Traction Control Warning Light ON

4) Possible Vehicle in limp mode

5) Possible Vehicle stuck in low gear

Possible Causes

- Cracked ABS Ring

- Swollen ABS Ring

- Corroded ABS Ring

- ABS Ring Missing Teeth

- ABS Ring Missing Windows

- ABS Ring Impact with ABS Sensor

- Faulty ABS Sensor

- Damaged ABS Sensor

pd ABS Sensors and ABS Reluctor Rings have been developed as a full upgrade over the Original Equipment and are un-comparable to budget products on the market.

pd ABS Sensors use our very latest exclusive Sensor Technology, guaranteed to last the lifetime of the vehicle! Uncomparable to low quality, poorly manufactured, imported sensors from the Far East.

To stand by our quality statement, we offer a LIFETIME GUARANTEE on all of our pd ABS Sensors and ABS Reluctor Rings - FIT AND FORGET FOR THE LIFE OF YOUR VEHICLE...

Advanced Engineering - Money Back Guarantee

All of our exclusive pd ABS Sensors are manufactured to precise tolerances on our advanced production lines, guaranteed for a FIRST TIME FIT backed by our Money Back Guarantee. ABS Sensors are designed to mount at a set position relative to the ABS Reluctor Ring - called an "air gap". Based on this, it is essential that the ABS Sensor is manufactured to an exact size and fine tolerance. Slightly too small and the ABS Sensor will not read - Slightly too big and the ABS Sensor will impact the ABS Ring.

All of our pd ABS Sensors have been developed to guarantee a first time perfect fit - FIT AND FORGET FOR THE LIFE OF YOUR VEHICLE...
