Triscan’s programme within car specific ABS-sensors are all in OE quality

The production process is subject to the strict quality control standards within the automobile industry: IATF 16949. All sensors are subject to functionality testing before final approval. With more than 1200 references, the program covers more than 90% of the European car parc.

What does the ABS-sensor do and how does it work

Determines the speed of the wheel to be used by the ABS - TCS/ ASR - ESC/ESP system. In some cases this information is also used by the vehicle’s gearbox and power steering system.

  • ABS: Antilock Breaking System.
  • ASR/TCS: Traction Control System.
  • ESC/ESP: Electronic Stability Control.

Between the brake system’s master cylinder and brake calipers, an ABS block and and an ABS control unit are placed. Onto the car’s drive shafts, wheel hubs, brake discs or drums a toothed rim is mounted, and on the wheel hub a sensor detects if the wheel rotates. The sensors are connected to the ABS control unit, which controls the pump and the valves in the ABS block. If you step so hard on the brake that one or more wheels are blocked, the pressure on the blocked wheel brake calipres is depressurized to the point where the wheels start rotating again.
