Description of functions

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Subaru BRZ. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The speed sensor detects the wheel speed and sends the signal to the skid control computer. These signals are used for ABS control.

The speed sensor detects magnetic field changes in the magnetic rotor, where the N and S poles are evenly allocated in a circumferential direction, and generates a vehicle speed pulse.

With this vehicle speed pulse, the skid control computer detects each wheel's speed.

NOTE: The following voltage outputs are the values when the vehicle harness connectors are connected to the skid control computer (brake actuator Assembly) and the speed sensor.
