How Brake Sensors Work
Wheel Speed Sensors
Monitor wheel rotation for ABS and traction control.
Brake Pressure Sensors
Measure braking force.
Common Brake Sensor Issues
Sensor Contamination
Dirt and debris affect accuracy.
Electrical Faults
Cause ABS and warning lights.
How OBD Diagnoses Brake Sensor Problems
Real-Time Sensor Data
Detects irregular wheel speed readings.
Fault Code Logging
Identifies specific sensor failures.
Benefits of Brake Diagnostics
Improved braking safety
Faster fault detection
Enhanced vehicle stability
Conclusion
OBD diagnostics play a vital role in maintaining modern brake system safety.
