Essential Vehicle Speed Sensor Overview

The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) plays a critical role in the operation of your vehicle by measuring the rotational speed of the transmission output shaft or wheel speeds. This data is then provided to the car's computer system for controlling fuel injection, engine timing, and in some cases, the automatic transmission shifting.

How Does the Speed Sensor Work?

Typically, the VSS employs a gear or a magnetic sensor to monitor the shaft rotation, converting it into electrical signals. These signals are then interpreted by the vehicle's computer to determine the current speed, which is displayed on the speedometer.

Consequences of a Faulty Speed Sensor

If the VSS is broken or malfunctioning, the vehicle's performance could degrade. Issues might include erratic speedometer readings, improper shifting of gears, decreased fuel efficiency, and in some cases, a loss of power. It is crucial to address any issues with the VSS promptly to maintain optimal performance and safety.
