What is the Speedometer Sensor all about?

As its name implies, the speedometer displays your vehicle's real-time speed. Most speedometers are electronic. An electronic speedometer measures vehicle speed with the help of a speedometer sensor. This sensor, usually located at the transmission, detects the drive shaft's rotational speed. The sensor delivers a corresponding series of pulses to a computer, which then turns these pulses into the numerical figure the speedometer indicates. So when the speedometer sensor becomes faulty, the speedometer becomes unreliable.

Keep in mind:

Your replacement speedometer sensor needs to be specific to your make and model, or else it might be inaccurate. A VIN is required to ensure the correct match.

How it's done:

  • Check the operation of speedometer.
  • Scan the computer system in the car for codes.
  • Test the vehicle speed sensor.
  • Replace the vehicle speed sensor if faulty.
  • Recheck the operation of speedometer.

Our recommendation:

There’s no need to be proactive with your speedometer sensor, as your car will quickly let you know when it fails. When the speedometer sensor malfunctions, the Check Engine warning light should come on, and your vehicle's cruise control will stop working. The speedometer may also stop working, or it may become noticeably inaccurate.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Speedometer Sensor?

  • Check Engine light is on.
  • Speedometer does not work.
  • Cruise control is not working.

How important is this service?

A speedometer sensor measures the rate at which the vehicle’s driveshaft is rotating; this data is sent to the vehicle’s computer, where it is converted into a number and displayed on the speedometer. When the speedometer sensor fails, there is no line of communication to your speedometer, and you won’t be able to view how fast you’re driving.

Subaru Forester H4-2.5L - Brake Pads Replacement (Front) - Shawnee Mission, Kansas
David was on time and ready for the job! He had all the equipment needed and ready to solve for what was at first a small issue but upon inspection more was required to get my car safely back on the road. David new the best course of action was to replace a part that I wouldn't have known was damaged and he also showed me why the part was failing and that replacing one thing without the other would not be the safest bet. I understood his logic and agreed to another service. David quickly ran and grabbed a new caliper and replaced it for the clearly damaged one. He was able to install my front brake pads, rotors, and a caliper with seemingly ease. He was very easy to communicate with and seemed to enjoy his work! I will be seeking his service on future repairs. Thanks, David!
