DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

Brake Sensor, Anti-Lock

The anti-lock brake system uses three variable-reluctance sensors and toothed speed sensor indicator rings to determine the rotational speed of each wheel. The sensors operate on magnetic induction principle. As the teeth on the speed indicator ring rotate past the stationary sensor, a signal proportional to the speed of the rotation is generated and sent to the anti-lock brake electronic control module through a twisted-pair wire cable and wiring harness.

Front

The front brake anti-lock sensors (2C204) are attached to the suspension knuckles, and the front brake anti-lock sensor indicators (2C182) are pressed onto the backside of the rotors.

Rear

The rear sensor is integrated into the rear axle housing.
