The wheel speed sensor (WSS) is located on top of the rear differential on a 1999 Dodge 2500 4X4. The sensor interacts with a tone ring sandwiched behind the differential ring gear. As the differential ring gear rotates the tone ring sends signals through the wheel speed sensor; the signal is converted to vehicle speed by the Power-train Computer Module and ultimately displayed on the drivers speedometer. The WSS is also used to signal the anti-lock braking system computer under severe braking conditions.
