What is ABS sensor
ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) sensor is a wheel speed sensor that is used in modern vehicles equipped with ABS systems. The sensor measures the rotational speed of a wheel and sends the data to the ABS control module. The ABS module uses this information to determine if a wheel is about to lock up during heavy braking and then modulates the brake pressure to prevent wheel lockup and maintain traction. This helps the driver to maintain control of the vehicle during hard braking on slippery surfaces.

Advantages of ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) sensors include:

1.Improved braking performance: ABS sensors can detect wheel lock-up and adjust braking pressure to individual wheels, providing more control over the vehicle during sudden braking.

2.Enhanced safety: ABS helps reduce skidding and maintains steering control, allowing the driver to steer around obstacles while braking.

3.Shorter stopping distance: ABS can help the vehicle come to a stop in a shorter distance, which can be critical in emergency situations.

4.Increased durability: ABS sensors can prolong the life of the brake system by reducing the amount of wear and tear on brake components.

5.Better fuel efficiency: ABS can improve fuel efficiency by reducing the amount of time the vehicle spends skidding and sliding, reducing drag and improving traction.
