Wheel Speed Sensors (VIDEO)
There are two types of wheel speed sensors, active and passive.This video is sponsored by BCA Bearings by NTN.
Wheel Speed Sensors and Bearings
The only way to diagnose the sensor and circuit is with a scan tool or scope.
Active vs Passive Wheel Speed Sensors (VIDEO)
The difference lies in how the sensors measure wheel speed. This video is sponsored by BCA Bearings

You should never remove the wheel speed sensor from a new wheel hub. Here’s why. This video is sponsored by GMB.
Carlson Releases New ABS Wheel Speed Sensors
The company says the new wheel speed sensors undergo thermal, shock, vibration, durability and extreme temperature testing.
Active Wheel Speed Sensor Logic
Firing the “parts cannon” at an active ABS wheel speed sensor code often results in a misdiagnosis and an unhappy customer. It may start with the wheel bearing hub unit or wheel speed sensor. If those parts do not resolve the problem, the technician may fire the parts cannon at the ABS hydraulic control module. Typically, the customer’s patience and wallet runs out before the car is fixed.
Continental Offers Original Equipment ATE Wheel Speed Sensors To The Aftermarket
Continental now offers the genuine OEM part for exact fit and simplified installation.
Testing Active Wheel Speed Sensors
The best tool for testing the active speed sensor is a good scanner, preferably one that can show the separate speed sensors in graph form. A lab scope is probably the best for a more precise answer and can be attached directly at the sensor to read the individual sensors or wires, rather than the entire system as with the scanner.
Wheel Speed Sensor: Understanding ABS Brake Passive Sensors
The passive wheel speed sensor has been around a long time. It works quite differently than the active speed sensors that are found on most cars today. The passive speed sensor creates its own AC signal that changes frequency with wheel speed. This signal is only present while the wheel is turning at a rate fast
Diagnosing Passive Wheel Speed Sensors
The passive wheel speed sensor has been around a long time. It works quite differently than the active speed sensors that are found on most cars today. The passive speed sensor creates its own AC signal that changes frequency with wheel speed. This signal is only present while the wheel is turning at a rate fast enough to create the AC signal.
