How to test a digital ABS wheel speed sensor

This case study is a good example of how my engine performance testing methods can easily be applied to other areas of the car, giving you confidence during diagnostics! This Chrysler 300 comes equipped with ‘digital’ ABS wheel speed sensors, which differ from conventional variable reluctance sensors, and are becoming more and more common on newer vehicles.
