Speedometer Sensor
The Speedometer Sensor (also known as the Vehicle Speed Sensor – VSS) is a critical component that monitors the rotational speed of the transmission or wheel and sends this data to the vehicle’s ECU and speedometer. This allows accurate display of vehicle speed on the dashboard and helps in proper engine and transmission control.
Key Functions:
Measures and transmits vehicle speed data
Provides input for speedometer reading
Assists in gear shifting and cruise control functions
Improves fuel efficiency and engine performance
A faulty speedometer sensor can cause incorrect speed readings, transmission shifting problems, or malfunctioning cruise control. Replacing it ensures accurate speed monitoring and smooth vehicle operation.
