This rear antiskid sensor is a core element of your vehicle's Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). It constantly monitors the rotation speed of your rear wheels. This helps prevent the wheels from locking up when you brake hard, enhancing safety and vehicle stability, especially on wet or slippery roads.
How Does It Work?
The sensor detects rotation data and sends signals to your ABS control unit. If it senses a wheel locking, the system modulates brake pressure to keep the wheel spinning. This ensures the car stays steerable and maintains optimal grip with the road.
What Happens If the Sensor Fails?
ABS warning light will illuminate on your dash.
Your braking distance may increase.
Loss of antiskid protection can lead to wheel lockup and skidding.
Vehicle stability and control are compromised in emergency braking.
