If you look at sensors on a vehicle, the majority use a 5-volt reference. It doesnt matter if the sensor detects pressure, temperature or movement. The basics of the circuit are that the sensor is typically supplied with 5 volts from a module.

The ABS controller/modulator is the heart of any ABS or ESC system. The modulator gets the brake pressure from the master cylinder. Located inside are the valves and solenoids that control the pressures to the wheel.

1972 isn’t the immediate result that would pop into one’s mind when asked, ‘What’s the best year for muscle cars?’ The sixties will certainly trample anything from 1972, and 1970 and 1971 have a lot going on for them, too.

This is where bigger is almost always synonymous with more comfort, more luxury, but also reduced efficiency and maneuverability, so there can be little talk of any attraction between opposites.
