🔍 *What is an ABS Sensor?*
An *ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) sensor* is a crucial component in a vehicle’s braking system. It *monitors the speed of each wheel* and sends this data to the ABS control module. This helps prevent the wheels from locking up during hard braking.

⚙️ *Function of the ABS Sensor:*
1. Measures the *rotational speed* of each wheel.
2. Sends this information to the *ABS control unit*.
3. The ABS system then adjusts brake pressure to *prevent wheel lock* and maintain control.

🚗 *Where Is It Located?*
- Typically mounted near the *wheel hub*, close to the *brake disc* or *drum*.
- Works together with a *tone ring* or *reluctor ring* to detect wheel rotation.
