Speed Sensor FR RH ?

The front right-hand speed sensor is an essential component in today's modern vehicles, ensuring that the car's anti-lock braking system (ABS) functions effectively. This sensor continuously monitors the rotation speed of the wheels, sending vital data to the ABS module. When you brake suddenly, especially on slippery surfaces, this data allows the system to prevent wheel lockup, maintaining traction and steering control.

Importance of Speed Sensor ⚙️

Without an operational speed sensor, your vehicle's ABS and traction control systems may not perform as intended. This could lead to longer stopping distances, increased risk of skidding, and overall compromised vehicle safety. Additionally, a malfunctioning sensor often triggers a warning light on the dashboard, alerting you of the issue.

Functionality ?️

Mounted on the wheel hub, the sensor works by detecting the speed of a toothed wheel or ring (also called a tone wheel or reluctor wheel) using magnetic or electronic signals. This data is then relayed to the vehicle's ECU, which processes it to determine if the wheel is decelerating abnormally.

Consequences of a Broken Sensor ?

If the speed sensor fails, the ABS warning light may illuminate, indicating a loss of function in your anti-lock braking system. Furthermore, your vehicle might experience erratic speedometer readings, as this sensor might also contribute data for speed display in some models.

Replacing a defective speed sensor is crucial for optimal driving safety, maintaining your vehicle's braking performance, and ensuring it meets safety regulations.
