Rear Right Wheel Speed Sensor for Toyota

Why This Sensor Is Essential ?

The rear right wheel speed sensor is crucial for keeping your Toyota’s handling and safety technology in top shape. This component continually monitors the rotation speed of your vehicle’s rear right wheel and sends vital data to the car’s computer systems. Such information is necessary for systems like ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) and traction control to work correctly.

How It Works ⚙️

Mounted close to the wheel hub, this sensor detects movement using a magnetic or hall-effect principle. As the wheel spins, it picks up signals from a toothed ring or magnetic encoder. These signals are then translated into electrical impulses and transmitted to the onboard controller. The car's computer uses this real-time data to adjust braking force and maintain vehicle stability, especially on slippery roads.

Signs of Damage or Failure ?️

If this sensor malfunctions, you may notice warning lights on your dashboard, such as the ABS or traction control symbol. ABS function could be disrupted, leading to unsafe braking in emergencies. Additionally, traction and stability features may not respond properly, increasing the risk of wheel lockup or skidding, especially in hazardous conditions. Prompt replacement keeps your Toyota safe on the road.
