How does a wheel speed sensor work in a car?
How does a wheel speed sensor work in a car?
Wheel speed sensors are installed in your car to determine how fast each wheel is turning. They are responsible for sending data to the anti-lock brake system (ABS) module. The module uses that information to regulate ABS operation and (on most newer vehicles) traction control and stability control.
What is the code for left front wheel speed sensor?
Code C0035 may be set when the car’s anti-lock brake module perceives a fault with the left front wheel speed sensor or its circuit. Wheel speed sensors are installed in your car to determine how fast each wheel is turning.
Is the tone ring on a wheel speed sensor the same as the original?
To produce an accurate signal, the sensor’s tone ring must have the correct number of teeth for the application. Make sure the tone ring on a replacement rotor, drum, axle shaft or outboard CV joint is the same as the original if any of these parts have been recently replaced, or need to be replaced.
Which is Dorman ABS wheel speed sensor tone ring?
This ABS wheel speed sensor tone ring directly replaces the original equipment tone ring on certain vehicle years, makes and models for a cost-effective fix. Dorman is a leading auto parts manufacturer founded in the United States and headquartered in Colmar, Pennsylvania. Our story began with the first mass market automobile.

What happens when an ABS wheel speed sensor fails?
BMW E53 models utilize a magneto resistive style sensor. When an ABS wheel speed sensor fails, the ABS/DSC module loses road wheel speed for the corresponding wheel and sets a fault code for the ABS wheel speed signal. When a fault code is set, the ABS/DSC warning light will illuminate.
