What should the resistance be on a wheel speed sensor?
The resistance specs will vary depending on the application, but most sensors should read 450 to 2200 ohms (always look up the exact specifications because they can vary a great deal from one vehicle application to another). If a sensor reads open, shorted or is out of specifications, it can’t generate an accurate signal and must be replaced.
How does the scan tool work on a wheel speed sensor?
The scan tool will display a speed input in miles per hour (mph) for each wheel speed sensor. Most wheel speed sensors (except for the latest generation of “active” WSS sensors) won’t generate a readable signal until a vehicle is traveling 3 to 5 mph or faster.

Is the wheel speed sensor the same as the transmission?
The wheel speed sensor is different than the speed sensor attached inside the vehicle’s transmission. Its job is to record the actual wheel speed and report this data to the vehicle ECU which controls all electronic functions on the car, truck, or SUV.
How to pinpoint a wheel speed sensor fault?
We have the dealer level tool and the customer was recommend to Pinpoint Diagnostics by a local garage. At this time we tested the wheel speed sensors and proved conclusively that the right hand front sensor was faulty. The part was replaced and the light was reset.
