Abstract
A system and method of determining wear of a wheel seal assembly. A warning indicative of wear of the wheel seal assembly may be generated when a wheel speed exceeds a threshold wheel speed for first amount of time, when a tire pressure exceeds a threshold tire pressure for a second amount of time, and/or when a wheel end temperature exceeds a threshold wheel end temperature for a third amount of time.
