i have a vw and I thought I did this before, but my car had the ps2 wire. now my new ecu has wheelspeed on pin8 built in.
I want to get the wheelspeed input from a non power driven wheel using it abs sensor ring.
I bought the vr/hall adapter for wheelspeed .
i am assuming i solder my abs sensor to the adapter converter
then plug it into a db9 that has ground, +5, and wheelspeed signal (pin8). from ecu.
i hope this is right. thanks for the help in advance
i wired like this and i have not gotten any signal out of the abs ring. what am i doing wrong??

what divider did you have the solder blob in the converter, using a vag abs ring?
i believe the abs ring from this vw has ~45 teeth so i am guessing i need the divby4 not by 8
man this forum has died.
I think I have it wired right. im going to try changing divider this weekend and hopefully I can get it working.

Hello Boostd Audi,
In verifying the chain from ABS ring to ecu, its best to split in a few separate easy checks:
1) Measure VR sensor resistance, without VR/Hall converter connected with DVM (Digital Volt Meter) in resistance mode (0-2kohm)
2) With DVM measure in AC voltage mode (0-2v), the voltage across VR+ and VR- of abs sensor without the VR/Hall converter connected to it, while turning the wheel as fast as possible by hand
3) Verify if the correct divider setting jumper is soldered
4) Verify wiring/connection to VR/Hall convertor (pin#1: 5v, pin#4: signal out, pin#5: GND)
5) When turning the wheel by hand verify (if possible by scope but DVM (in DC voltage 0-20v) should do at these low speeds), if you see alternating high and low voltage state.
If you can get back to me with readings/measurements and observations from tests above i can help you diagnose why it is not operating as intended.
Best regards,
Dave
thanks guys.
I didn't have the scope with me when I wired it. I am going to see my buddy this week to test it and hopefully get it dialed in.
