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.

Behrak is a true professional. Arrived on time and completed the complicated service in under 2 hours. You can't beat a mechanic coming to you! As a business owner getting away even just to get my car serviced is a huge hassle and time waster. Behrak met me at my office, pulled around the back of my warehouse and performed the service for me while I continued business as usual. Oh and the best part is I paid 50% less than what the BMW specialist up the street from me was going to charge me. All around the best car service experience of my life. Thank you Behrak and Your Mechanic!

Whitney was excellent! He was on time, very professional, clean, friendly and highly responsive to phone calls from me checking on status. Very skilled, knowledgeable and thorough on the maintenance work performed, the 50-point inspection and overall results report and recommendations. I found him trustworthy and honorable about what the issues were, what was or wasn't required to fix and following up with timely quotes. I have already referred him to several other friends as well as "Your Mechanic" and he just did the work today. You guys are great!
