Testing ABS Sensor with a Multimeter: Step-by-Step Guide & Alternative Methods

Question

Hello, could someone help me and write how I can check the abs sensor, e.g. using a meter and if the meter cannot do it, what and how ???? please help in advance thanks :|

curylop · Answer

and what ?? while driving, apply the brake and look at the wheels

adamjur1 · Answer

If you have access to the cube connecting the sensor with the car installation, then
When you connect an ohmmeter in the direction of the sensor - it should be in the range of 1-1.5 k?, and in the direction of the computer - a few M?. Of course you have to disconnect the cube. It is different in different cars - for example, in the passat, the front sensors disconnect at the wheel hubs, and the rear sensors have connectors under the rear seat.

You did not write whether you want to check it on - continuity of the circuit -generated signal

majsterjan6 · Answer

there are two types of sensors, each of which works differently, write what kind of sensor it is

adamjur1 · Answer

I assume that the reason for the desire to check is the lit ABS indicator, i.e. failure and shutdown of the system. As for the types, in fact, in addition to induction, they can also be hall effect sensors - enter the brand and year of this stroller .....

ps
at a friend in the Peugeot 405 the ABS fell after replacing one axle shaft - after various electronic measurements it turned out that the new axle shaft used did not have a gear for the abs .........

procekkk · Answer

preferably on an oscilloscope Write what abs driver you have Such a code of silica or at least capacity PEOPLE learn to write specific car details !!!

romek77 · Answer

Measure as your colleague wrote above, i.e. remove the cube from the sensor, measure resistance about 1Kom, then you can check whether the voltage is induced, switch the meter to measure AC current and spin the wheel should induce voltage. )

Hello !!!

If the abs is burning, connect to the diagnoscope and everything will be clear. If I remember correctly, this Ford '97 had problems with the abs pump, the motor in the pump is blurring there.
As for the sensors, as colleagues have already written, 2-wire resistance from about 900? to 2k?, if the sensor is within these limits, the sensor is 90% efficient, the remaining 10% are ground sensor breakdowns.

97 may already be on Bosch, and the pump did not blur there, it blurred in the bendix-mecatronix

Gentlemen, how to check the ABS sensor from FOCUS 1.8 from 1998 with TCS

galamarcin · Answer

Hello, I have a Primere P11 hatchback 2.0TD 99.
How do I check the ABS sensor, i.e. where exactly where should I measure the resistance, maybe someone did it asked for a precise explanation

The ABS light comes on after starting the engine (in severe frost, the ABS works for some time, but when the road goes a bit and turns the steering wheel, the light comes on and ABS is gone

)
Thanks in advance
