Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) vs. Wheel Speed Sensor (WSS)
A vehicle speed sensor (VSS) is usually located on the transmission and reports to the onboard computer how fast the vehicle is moving.
A Wheel Speed Sensor is located at each wheel and reports the speed of each individual wheel.
Symptoms of a Bad Speed Sensor
Transmission problems: Delayed shifts, hard shifts, or limited gear operation.
Erratic or no speedometer readings
Inability to engage cruise control

My 93 4runner has been shifting late and hard for a while. This morning Speedo went out and CEL came on. Hope a replacement of speed censor clears up all of these issues! Good video, thanks!

Tried replacing both speed sensors, Speedo issue is gone but no help with shifting. Reset ECU and codes are now for shift solenoids #2, #4 and TCC solenoid. Pulled the old ones out. They ohm good but TCC solenoid fails to actuate when power applied. All 4 solenoids are on order should arrive tomorrow or Monday.

My car's speed sensor has a problem and a DTC appears after scanning. I have tried replacing the sensor with a new sensor, but the problem is not resolved because if the engine is running the check engine light comes on and if it goes 10/20 meters the check engine light goes off. but if you stop check the engine starts again. the car feels heavy when driving.. what steps do I need to take? if the cable is safe and not broken.

im trying to separate the functions and locations of certain issues. i have to determine if i fried my vehicle dynamic control module (VDC) which comes as one piece mounted to the ABS pump (part# 27596FJ190); or, if i just damaged the wheel speed sensor (VSS). i installed new bearings, and knuckles for a slightly later manufacture date. my lights all came on and the car was in limp mode- couldnt even get up to 1k rpm; car was limiting speed through rpm's. I drive a standard, so i shifted to 2dn, and then 3rd gear in that almost-idling state. once in 3rd gear, all the lights that were on in the dash (ABS, hill assist, cruise control, traction control, check engine), blink on and off a few times, then stay on, as the car now comes out of limp mode- but all the lights are stuck on. cleared codes, lights came back, replaced bearings, cleared codes again, lights came back, replaced knuckles, now the codes wont clear with the various scanners. one code is P0500 (WSS A is bad), and the other is U0122 (lost comm's with VDC module). both are permanent. ABS pump comes with a silicone-sealed VDC module...$1600. both codes are permanent.

I just purchased a 2013 Nissan Marano sport, utility vehicle. And when you put it in drive, it will not go anywhere. Nor will it let you accelerate when you put it in. Reverse the same thing happens. However, when you put it in park on neutral, you can accelerate and everything works. Could that be a Faulty speed sensor

If it's not the AWD model, might be a good idea to look into the torque converter.

Just had a p0500 on my 2012 corolla, The speedometer stopped working while driving and abs and power steering shut off. Now the p0500 makes sense, But why did my battery light come on then start flashing then disappear? I cleared the code but i will be doing tests on every single one of these sensors, Hopefully no rats chewed through it. I will be using my autel to read each sensor and also so some simple multimeter readings

Do you have a scan tool that reads ABS codes. The codes will help to point to the issue.

Can you tell me how to reset the speed sensor after installing the new one?? Hope you can help

@HVAC_Mechanic 17 күн бұрын

It shouldn't need to be reset. If the sensor is replaced, the code is cleared; if it comes back, there is another issue, likely the wiring.

Scan for OBDII codes, which will give a speed sensor code if one is bad. If you don't have an OBDII scan tool, automotive stores often come out and scan for free.

Bad torque converter or crankshaft position sensor?

@bradleyneuville3074 21 күн бұрын

Can the vehicle speed sensor makemy 09 Impala only start out in first or 2nd gear I can shift it manually but it won't start out in drive or od,I just had a transmission put in from a salvage yard and the transmission was missing a vehicle speed sensor so the mechanic put the one from my old junk transmission onto the one know.

@HVAC_Mechanic 21 күн бұрын

Yes, it can cause issues with the TCM when shifting the transmission, but several things can cause the same issue. Usually, there is a speed sensor code such as P0500.

If this sensor is bad, could it cause no reverse?

@wiener4718 2 ай бұрын

That more than likely would be a solenoid issue. Or simply changing your trans fluid and filter if the problem continues go to a professional I promise
