Question
How to diagnose intermittent wheel speed sensor faults in AWD vehicles?
Answer
Monitor sensor signal waveform during cornering and test tone ring alignment.
Explain
AWD vehicles’ wheel speed sensors (especially rear) are exposed to more vibration. CHEPQ oscilloscopes capture signal drops (>100ms) during sharp turns—indicating a loose tone ring—and measure air gaps (optimal: 0.5-1.0mm) to rule out misalignment, avoiding false ABS warnings.
