How to test an ABS wheel sensor

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this very interesting video, we can see the method for testing the ABS wheel speed sensor: we need to take the sensor, disconnect the connector that goes to the sensor itself, and insert two poles inside the plug - which is divided into two halves - one positive and one negative, through which we will pass the alternating current. Now we turn the wheel hub, and we see that the voltmeter simultaneously detects values, this means that the sensor is working correctly, because this is exactly how the sensor does its job, creating tension when the wheel rotates. This is the method for testing the sensor.
