You have probably missed some of the earlier dialogue on this. I have been looking at this over the last few weeks and that was my initial thought too. But as ever it is not quite that simple. The sensors are actually quite sophisticated current rather than voltage output devices, so simply wiring them in parallel does not work; the ECU performs a constant test on the sensor signals which impart speed, direction and gap data via variable width current pulses. I have now got a 'breadboard system to take the rear wheel signals an output corresponding front wheel signals. The next step is to hook it all up on the car. Here's more details on my site:
