Found it in 2 minutes in VIDA (highlighted in blue):

There are four wheel sensors, one at each wheel. The wheel sensors supply the control module with information about the rotation speed, acceleration and retardation of each wheel. By recording the pulses, the control module can calculate the wheel speed.

The wheel sensors are active sensors. When the pulse wheel rotates, the sensor generates a pulsed current (quadratic wave) where the strength of the current depends on the position of the pulse wheel. The signals from the coils in the wheel sensors are then affected by a magnetic resistance element, which generates a current which changes between 7mA and 14mA, and whose frequency increases with speed.

On the front wheels, the pulse wheel is pressed onto the outer constant velocity joint and the wheel sensors are located radially in the shaft housing relative to the pulse wheel. On the rear wheels, the pulse wheel is pressed onto the hub and the wheel sensors are located axially relative to the pulse wheel. Both the front and rear pulse wheels have 48 teeth. In the event of a fault in any of the wheel sensors the following systems will be disengaged or will not engage:
