How is everybody reading the new digital wheel speed sensors? What is the set up and hook up? I used my Snap On scope and ac coupled. I back probe both wires and rotate the wheel. It seems like I got a readable wave form. I tried it with the PICO and could not get it right.

Let me know if the link doesn't work.

Grant, Any other articles written by Steve Smith in Motor Age you know of?

Ernest,
I haven't come across anything else by Steve Smith written for Motor Age.  The Steve Smith article was found in the "advertorial" section.  The Motor Age website search feature is currently broken.

Other good writing by Steve Smith I have found in picoauto.com case studies, newsletters or forums.    

Thanks Grant!  :)

Thank you for your response. Iknew i was dealing with low amps, but every thing that i tried as fas as hook ups testing voltage at the signal wire, using the sensor ground as the ground, AC coupled, none of those had good results. I have the Weakon ABS tester that I can't seem to make work on them either. I don't have a good Amp probe at this time so I will check into getting one Thanks

Honestly, with a scan tool.  Some experience may be required, but usually if the WSS data doesn't do the trick then the isolation & dump valve data should help.  Otherwise you'll want to invest in the K110 probe, or make your own breakout with a 10x coil for amperage, for the ones that aren't very obvious with the small voltage scale from the link above.

That guy has more than a few tricks up his sleeve.   [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Hello all,

This is the Steve Smith case study mentioned in the MotorAge advertorial:
