Description

A speed sensor on a vehicle is a device that measures the rotational speed of a wheel or transmission shaft, sending electrical signals to the car's computer to determine the vehicle's speed, which is then used to control various functions like transmission shifting, speedometer readings, and cruise control operation; also known as a "vehicle speed sensor" (VSS) or "wheel speed sensor" (WSS).

Key points about speed sensors:

Function:
It detects the number of rotations per unit of time by reading magnetic pulses or teeth on a rotating component.

Location:
Typically found near the wheels (on the transmission or differential) to accurately measure wheel speed.

Signal output:
Sends electrical pulses to the car's computer, with the frequency of the pulses increasing as the vehicle speed increases.

Impact of failure:
A faulty speed sensor can cause issues like an erratic speedometer, improper shifting, loss of cruise control, and even affect the stability control system.
