4 wheel speed sensors

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 45 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW M5, 2016 BMW 550i xDrive, 2016 BMW 550i, 2016 BMW 535i xDrive, and 2016 BMW 535i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The active wheel speed sensors are connected to the DSC control unit. The complete signal processing takes place in the active wheel speed sensors.

The active wheel speed sensors also detect the direction of travel.

The wheel speed is measured at a magnetic increment wheel. The magnetic increment wheel is divided into 96 increments per rotation of the wheel. Each increment change is detected by the active wheel speed sensor and converted into a defined signal protocol of a pulse-width modulated signal.
