What does no signal mean on wheel speed sensor?
No signal means a bad sensor or wiring fault. NOTE: Active wheel speed sensors cannot be accurately tested by measuring resistance across the sensor’s terminals. You have to look for a good return signal from the sensor while it is receiving power from the control module or a 12-volt battery, and while the wheel is turning.
What happens if you lose a wheel speed signal?
Loss of a wheel speed signal is a serious problem because the ABS module needs accurate input from all its sensors to determine whether or not a wheel is locking up. Without this vital information, the ABS system can’t do its thing.
Why does the ABS light come on on a new wheel?
What’s happening is that the ABS computer is seeing a different in signal strength between the new and old wheel speed sensors. It determines that the weaker signal is indicating a wheel lockup, so it falsely activates the ABS on that wheel. Or, it determines that the weak signal indicates a bad sensor, so it lights up the ABS light.
How to replace a front wheel speed sensor?
How to replace a front wheel speed sensor on a Jeep JK. Symptoms of bad wheel speed sensors are: ABS/ESP dash lights illuminated, no cruise control, throwing codes U1417 or U1418.

Where does the speed signal go on a Subaru?
Each wheel’s speed signal is transmitted to the ABS and/or VDC module (depending on how the vehicle is equipped), then to the ECM. Cruise control is managed by the ECM.
Which is the right rear wheel speed sensor?
Well apparently c0050 is the right rear wheel speed sensor. Problem is they already changed it and have now changed the ecbm/abs module as well. I think they are stumped at this point which worries me cause I believe they will just re-set the **** ecbm and give it back (again).
Can a faulty wheel speed sensor be reset?
At this time we tested the wheel speed sensors and proved conclusively that the right hand front sensor was faulty. The part was replaced and the light was reset. Twelve months later (one year ago) the customer called again to say that the car had been ok, but now, just before his MOT the light had come back on.
Can a speed signal cause an ABS code?
On most vehicles, a problem with this speed signal would trigger an ABS code first. It is possible, however, for a speed signal problem to trigger a cruise control fault. Once a cruise control fault is set, it will not re-engage until the ignition switch is cycled (clearing the code).

What is the return signal on a two wire brake sensor?
On the two-wire sensors, one is the power and the other is ground. The return signal travels back to the module over the power supply wire. On Jeep and Chrysler applications with two-wire sensors, the return signal is a 7 to 14 milliamp square wave signal.
How can I tell if my wheel speed sensor is broken?
Damaged or missing teeth on the sensor ring will show up as flat spots or gaps in the sine wave pattern. A bent axle or hub will produce an undulating pattern that changes as the strength of the sensor signal changes with every revolution. Something else that can be detected with a scope is mismatched parts.
When to replace an antilock brake system sensor?
If the sensor circuit has too much resistance, reads open or is shorted (little or no resistance), measure the resistance across the sensor itself. If the sensor itself reads within specs, the problem is in the wiring or connectors. If not, then you have identified a bad sensor that needs to be replaced. SCOPE CHECKS
