- 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
The Vehicle Speed Sensor in your Nissan does precisely what its name indicates: senses your Nissan's speed. The sensor surveys transaxle speed, wheel speed, or transmission speed, and relays this info instantly to your engine. The engine's computer uses this real-time data to adjust mechanical operations while it's running, like transmission shifting points and fuel-to-air ratio.
When a speed sensor goes bad in your Nissan, you may observe inconsistent readings from the speedometer or transmission problems. A dashboard light could also turn on, and your Nissan's cruise control may turn off after a short time or stop working altogether. In older vehicles, the Vehicle Speed Sensor may stop working from normal wear over many years. Other acute problems — such as damage from moisture or a forceful impact from debris — can destroy your Vehicle Speed Sensor entirely.
