The following can be considered as the cause of the wheel speed sensor output
l Malfunction of wheel
malfunction.l Malfunction of ABS-ECU
l Distortion of rotor, teeth missing
lLow frequency noise interference when sensor harnes s wire is broken.l Noise interference in sensor signallSensor output signal is below the standard value or amplitude modulation is overthe standard value. Using an oscilloscope to measur e the wave shape of the
