antilock sensor
Does anyone know how to test the antilock sensor on each hub bearing? One of the sensors is bad but I don't know which one. Thanks

Re: antilock sensor
There are some scanners that will read the abs system, so you may be able to find a shop that can read them. That's the only real practical way to find out for sure.

Re: antilock sensor
This is the same thing as a wheel speed sensor, correct? Can't you take a resistance reading while you spin the wheel?

Re: antilock sensor
IIRC,the teeth on the hub spin around a magnet which creates a DC voltage signal that the PC reads.It looks at the "off" part of the signal to determine wheel speed,so if there is no signal at all,ABS no longer works.

Re: antilock sensor
It doesn't take much of a variance to the signal to shut the system off. You could try measuring the pulses, but most times the test would prove to be inconclusive.
