A rotational sensor system for detecting rotational velocity and rotational direction of a rotating member, such as a vehicle axle, including a tone ring mounted to the rotating member. The system includes a pair of active sensors mounted adjacent to the tone ring and spaced from one another, which, when activated, produce an electric signal in response to movements in the tone wheel. A processor receives the electric signals from the sensors and generates a signal indicative of rotational velocity and rotational direction of the rotating member. Also, preferably, an output signal is created that uses square waves with different amplitude levels for the signal highs and lows depending upon the direction of rotation.
