Speed sensor

The car's speed sensor is usually mounted in the car's transmission. There, the sensor measures the speed at which the drive shaft rotates. The speed sensor transmits this information to the car's computer system. The computer system then transfers this information to the dashboard where you can read the speed of the vehicle. When the speed sensor is faulty or not working properly, the speedometer in the dashboard will show an inaccurate or no speed at all. This increases the chance of a traffic fine and unsafe situations.

Speed sensor car broken

You can recognize that the speed sensor of the car is broken by a number of symptoms. The first symptom is the engine check light in the dashboard coming on. The sensor is mounted in the drive shaft of the car. When a malfunction occurs in the transmission, the engine check light in the dashboard will illuminate. This light will also illuminate in the event of a failed speed sensor. Another symptom that you may quickly notice is an erratic speed reading in the dashboard. This means that the speed indicator skips between the numbers or gives an incorrect indication while driving. It is also possible that there is no longer any speed indication in the dashboard. These symptoms can then lead to the cruise control not working (properly). This is because clear signals are no longer sent to the cruise control system, so that it cannot be locked at a certain speed.

If you notice one or more of the symptoms listed, be sure to check the speedometer and speed sensor to see where the defect is. Replace a faulty speed sensor as soon as possible to avoid traffic fines and unsafe situations.
