Speed Sensor

What's great about modern vehicles is the fact that they're equipped with parts that make driving easier and safer than it was back then. One of the most useful safety features of the vehicles we use today is the Speed Sensor. Located at the output shaft of the transmission, this component keeps track of the movement or rotation of the wheels and the crankshaft to monitor your vehicle's speed. The information it gathers is then sent to the ECM (Electronic Control Module) and is displayed on your car's dashboard. A few safety features of your vehicle also depend on this component. The cruise control, a system that lets the driver put the vehicle's speed at a set rate, needs the pulse frequency that this part sends in order to make the vehicle's speed constant. This component is also vital to a car with an ABS (Anti-lock Brake System), because the ABS needs the information that the sensor collects in order to make both wheels rotate at the same speed. Driving with a damaged Speed Sensor can be hazardous since you won't have accurate information on how fast your vehicle is going. That's why replacing this part is a must as soon as you see signs that it's defective. Auto Parts Warehouse offers a wide selection of speed sensors from the industry's top brands.
