Vehicle Speed Sensors: Why Do I Need Them And What Do They Do?

VIDEO: Understanding The Need for Vehicle Speed Sensors

Speed sensors provide crucial vehicle information. This video sponsored by NGK Spark Plugs.

If your vehicle has 4 high resolution wheel speed sensors, why does it need a vehicle speed sensor? Modern vehicles with 11 speed transmissions, all wheel drive, transfer cases, and more need to know the vehicle speed now more than ever. This “vehicle speed” is also known as the output shaft speed. These sensors are also used for the odometer on the vehicle and if not functioning properly, the vehicle mileage and speed will not show up.
