Circuit Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Toyota MR2. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) wheel speed sensor detects wheel speed and sends signals to ABS ECU. The ABS ECU converts signals into a 4-pulse signal and outputs signal to instrument cluster. Instrument cluster converts signal to a more precise waveform and outputs signal to ECM. ECM determines vehicle speed based on frequency of these pulse signals.
