Practice question
When checking an active (magnetoresistive) wheel speed sensor, what type of signal pattern should be observed on an oscilloscope?
- A variable direct current (DC) voltage flatline that rises to 12V when stopped
- A digital square wave toggling between two distinct current or voltage states as the sensor tone wheel rotates
- An analog sine-wave waveform whose amplitude increases as wheel speed rises
- A high-frequency radio signal shifting between 90 MHz and 100 MHz
Answer: B — A digital square wave toggling between two distinct current or voltage states as the sensor tone wheel rotates
