- Measures and relays information on vehicle speed
- Helps your engine adapt to different speeds for maximum efficiency
- Can wear out over time or be damaged by collisions, water, or debris
Your Nissan Vehicle Speed Sensor does what you'd expect, based on the name: senses how fast your vehicle is moving. This component gathers data based on transaxle speed, wheel speed, or transmission speed, and transmits the information to your Nissan's engine. Your engine's control system uses this real-time data to regulate certain variables while it's running, like fuel-to-air ratio and ignition timing.
When a speed sensor goes bad under the hood of your Nissan, you may notice inconsistent readings from the speedometer or new issues relating to your transmission. Your check engine light can also be triggered, and your Nissan's cruise control may quickly turn itself off or not turn on in the first place. An old Vehicle Speed Sensor can stop working from normal wear over time. In some cases, acute issues — like water damage or an impact during a collision — can destroy your Vehicle Speed Sensor entirely.
