These sensors introduce information to the computers which in turn control different automotive systems like the engine and the anti-lock brake system. Some of the models of Ford Explorer may have passive or active sensors that integrate ferromagnetic toothed reluctor rings. These sensors have developed to support more sophisticated auto systems such as the ABS requiring accurate speed input even in conditions such as when the car is coming to a stop. The advances in sensors have synergetic effects in the aspects of signal conditioning, signal stabilization, and an increase in the resolution of the measurement to improve the efficiency of the Ford Explorer vehicles.
