Which of the following explains why the 100-tooth reluctor wheel has become standard in truck ABS systems?
A) insufficient voltage can be generated by 16-tooth sensors
B) 3.6-degrees of tire rotation is close to the dynamic footprint of a radial tire at 60 mph
C) computers find it easier to monitor higher frequencies
D) it had to be different from a tailshaft speed sensor
Reluctor Wheel
A component in an electronic ignition system that works with a sensor to produce a signal, used for determining the engine's position or speed.
Dynamic Footprint
The area of contact and interaction between a moving object, like a tire, and the surface it is on, affecting traction and wear.
Tire Rotation
The practice of moving the wheels and tires of a vehicle from one position to another to ensure even tire wear.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The 100-tooth reluctor wheel has become standard in truck ABS systems because 3.6-degrees of tire rotation, which corresponds to the resolution provided by a 100-tooth wheel, closely matches the dynamic footprint of a radial tire at 60 mph. This allows for more precise monitoring and control of the wheel speed, improving the effectiveness of the ABS system.
