Replacing Wheel Bearing Hubs Equipped With Wheel Speed Sensors
When engineers came up with the idea of putting the wheel speed sensor (WSS) and tone ring inside a sealed wheel bearing hub assembly, it seemed like a great idea. The sealed environment would help protect the sensor and make it less vulnerable to damage or contamination from the outside.
VIDEO: Diagnosing And Replacing Wheel Speed Sensors
Andrew Markel goes over passive and active wheel speed sensors and shows why replacing one may be a better solution than repairing. Sponsored by Standard.
VIDEO: Steering Angle Sensors And Jumpstarts
Andrew Markel relates a story from a technician where a jumpstarted car had a miscalibrated steering angle sensor.
Huf North America Automotive Aftermarket Launches Expanded Coverage For Intellisens Universal Sensors
With only a few parts, Intellisens sensors now provide expanded coverage while also being among the fastest sensors to program using any of the popular TPMS programming tools, according to Huf.
Valeo OE Parking Sensors Now Available In The Aftermarket
This release features 11 OE sensors offering coverage for more than 3 million vehicles on the road today.
WRAF Sensors: How They Work
Wideband or Wide Range Air Fuel (WRAF) sensors don’t generate a voltage signal like common zirconia oxygen sensors. An ordinary oxygen sensor produces a voltage signal of 0.8 to 0.9 volts when the air/fuel mixture is rich, then drops to 0.3 volts or less when the air/fuel mixture goes lean.
Brake Pad Wear Sensors
Modern brake pad wear sensors can do more than just warn the driver of a worn brake pad. These new wear sensors work with the rest of the brake system and can estimate the mileage until the brake pads wear out.
