VIDEO: Understanding The Need for Vehicle Speed Sensors

Speed sensors provide crucial vehicle information. This video sponsored by NGK and NTK.

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.

Let's take a trip. It's 1974. You're in Denver, Colorado. You're in your car that has a carburetor, and you're getting ready to go over those rocky mountains to go to California. You've noticed that you're halfway up the mountain, the engine's starting to struggle. You go a little bit further. You notice that you start misfiring and the plugs are fouled. So what's going on here? Well, essentially with this, you have the blue, which represents oxygen, and the red represents fuel, and this is the perfect ratio. But you're taking away this oxygen, and when you take away the oxygen, you should take away the fuel. Carburetor can't do that because it has fixed jets, and the metering stays constant no matter what altitude you're at. This is why certain shops in Colorado specialized in carburetor tuning. Let's fast forward 50 years, and you're in a modern vehicle.
