The ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) gear ring, also known as the ABS reluctor ring or tone ring, is typically located on or around the wheel hub or axle shaft. Its precise location can vary depending on the specific vehicle make and model. The ABS gear ring is part of the wheel speed sensor system, which measures the rotational speed of the wheels to detect potential wheel lock-up during braking.
In most vehicles, the ABS gear ring is positioned near the wheel hub or inside the wheel bearing assembly. It is often mounted on the outer end of the axle shaft or integrated with the wheel hub assembly. The ring consists of teeth or slots that pass through the magnetic field of the wheel speed sensor, generating electrical pulses to monitor the wheel speed.
To access the ABS gear ring, you may need to remove the wheel and possibly disassemble certain components, such as the brake caliper and rotor, to reach the wheel hub or axle area. It's important to consult the vehicle's service manual or seek professional assistance if you're unsure about locating or working on the ABS gear ring, as procedures can vary depending on the vehicle's design.
