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.

Cadillac Fleetwood V8-5.7L - Fuel Filter - League City, Texas

Shay met my Father to replace his fuel filter and check to see if that was the problem that kept the car from running. Of course, the car started with no problem and kept running. We had Shay go ahead and put the fuel filter on and give us a quote for several other repairs needed on my Dad's Cadillac. Everything went well with the job. My Dad said Shay was very nice and very helpful.

Cadillac Fleetwood V8-5.7L - Cooling System Flush - San Antonio, Texas

It sometimes takes forever to find the right fit for a car owner - - we all know the story. Having to wade thru a bunch of bad experiences, price gouges, and broken promises. All this and all that many have suffered like this ended today with my Experience with Mario. This was the BEST experience I have ever had with a mechanic. Highly knowledgable, extremely polite, very service focused and oriented. No upselling, no change in price. All in all a top-notch customer service experience. I thought for sure I heard my car say "Thanks Mario" when he drove away - - I have been known to have a rude car so I'll say it again - thanks Mario.
