The Vehicle Speed Sensor in your Nissan does what you'd expect, based on the name: senses how fast your vehicle is moving. The sensor gathers data based on transmission speed, transaxle speed, or wheel speed, and transmits this data to the engine. Your engine's control system then utilizes this real-time data to regulate mechanical operations as you drive, like fuel-to-air ratio and ignition timing.
If you have a damaged speed sensor in your Nissan, you might see inconsistent readings from the speedometer or new issues relating to your transmission. A dashboard light can also be triggered, and your cruise control feature might cut off quickly or stop working altogether. In older vehicles, the Vehicle Speed Sensor may stop functioning simply from wear and tear over many years. Sometimes, other external factors — such as water damage or physical force from flying debris — can damage your Vehicle Speed Sensor beyond repair.
