Bruce Amacker Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Hey Guys: I know this is off topic, but I have heard that Focus rear drum ABS use the new style MR (Magnetic Reluctance) sensor instead of a regular AC style sensor, and the reluctor is built into the rear wheel seal. Can anyone verify this, and tell me what years it applies to? I'll have to include this in my ABS class. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Warman Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I can't say for the Focus for sure, Bruce.... On the SuperDuty it was around 04 MY that they switched to the new style sensor. Looks just like a VRS on the outside (still only two wires). Been a while since I had to test one (they are usually ripped out by the roots in our area) but I recall that you can't use an ohmeter..... Hopefuully, I'll get some time later to check it out for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Bruene Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I'm pretty sure the Focus used them from day one... I don't know if the new Focus still uses them... I'll have to take a trip to the car shop one day to have a looksie... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
