Dodge Speed Sensor

In cases where speedy driving actions are needed to avoid meeting dangers of road accidents, the anti-lock braking system of the vehicle is the most active with all of the components executing their tasks properly. The role of the anti-lock braking system in an automobile is vital in alleviating the dangers that threat the drivers/road occupants during slippery road condition and other circumstances where sudden skidding of the wheels is unavoidable. Basically, the system will work to produce more traction (it is lesser when the wheel is skidding) when the wheels are slowing down for you to be able to stop faster and still being able to steer while you stop.
 
Inside the system is found four major components which are composed of: pump, valves, controller, and the speed sensor. All of these components will work at a certain level of performance so that when the wheels of your vehicle are going to lock up, the system will execute at the right timing. The information that the system would need is being fed by the speed sensors. For the acquisition of the data, these are located right at each wheel, or in some cases, in the differential. The speed sensor will gauge the rotational speed of the wheel by picking the impulses generated from the wheel’s toothed signal rotor. When the correct data is gathered by the processing unit, the system will release more traction. Thus, avoiding the danger of bumping or colliding into something.

A speed sensor is not only used in the anti-lock braking system. It can also be found in the engine of the automobiles mounted on the crankshaft. In the case of the engine, the speed sensor is employed for controlling engine timing, fuel delivery, and automatic transmission shift points. The data that it will gather through the impulses from the toothed signal crankshaft will be delivered to the engine control unit computer for the calculation of the engine speed.

The two kinds of speed sensors are basically with the same function which is to collect and send the data to the engine ECU and ABS ECU. When one of these is not functioning, it will send wrong signal to the computer allowing miscalculated risk for the executions of the two systems. In this case, you should not let your Dodge vehicle get away with such kind of danger. Provide it with excellently working Dodge speed sensors to avoid further road mishaps.
