1. In a vehicle anti-lock braking system having wheel speed sensors for generating voltage signals representing the speed of the vehicle wheels, a warning light and a fault memory for storing at least one sensor fault bit, wherein said warning light is actuated and said at least one sensor fault bit is set in said fault memory when at least one of said wheel speed sensors is recognized as faulty with respect to its voltage signal, a method for communicating a wheel speed sensor fault comprising the steps of:

  • deactivating said warning light and deleting said at least one sensor fault bit from said fault memory when a wheel speed sensor voltage signal previously recognized as faulty has an amplitude larger than a predefined voltage threshold when the vehicle is moving at a predefined low limit speed.
