The ABS sensor monitors the wheel speed and sends this information to the ABS control module. This helps prevent wheel lockup during braking, ensuring better control and stability.

Common symptoms include: ABS warning light on the dashboard. Reduced braking performance. Wheels locking up under hard braking. Pulsating brake pedal.

Yes, but it’s not recommended. Without a functioning ABS sensor, the ABS system may not work correctly, increasing the risk of skidding during hard braking or on slippery surfaces.

An ABS sensor can be tested using a multimeter to check its resistance or with a scan tool to observe live data from the sensor during wheel rotation.

Common causes include: Physical damage from road debris. Corrosion on the sensor or its wiring. Electrical issues such as broken wires or poor connections.

Most modern vehicles come equipped with ABS sensors as part of their standard braking systems. Older models may lack ABS entirely.
