Your Vehicle Speed Sensor does what you'd expect, based on the name: senses how fast your vehicle is moving. This sensor surveys transmission speed, transaxle speed, or wheel speed, and sends this info instantly to the engine. The engine's computer makes use of this real-time data to change certain variables while it's running, like transmission shifting points and fuel-to-air ratio.
If the speed sensor is malfunctioning in your vehicle, you may notice erratic readings on your speedometer or new issues relating to your transmission. A dashboard light can also be triggered, and your cruise control feature may quickly turn itself off or not turn on in the first place. In older vehicles, the Vehicle Speed Sensor may break down from normal wear over time. In some cases, acute issues — such as excessive moisture or a forceful impact from debris — can render your Vehicle Speed Sensor unusable.
