Wheel Sensors

Each wheel sensor unit consists of a wheel hub with a series of internal magnets and a sensor element. The wheel sensors are installed on the inner side of the wheel knuckles. As the wheel rotates, the sensor generates a square-wave signal. The frequency increases as the wheel speed increases.
