The SKP Vehicle Speed Sensor is a replacement part for your car's original speed sensor. This sensor detects the rotational speed of a wheel or driveshaft and transmits this data to the vehicle's computer. The computer uses this information for various functions, including speedometer operation, cruise control, and anti-lock braking systems (ABS).Features:
A malfunctioning speed sensor can provide inaccurate data to the car's computer, leading to issues with speedometer readings, cruise control, and ABS. An SKP Vehicle Speed Sensor helps restore these functions
Transmits reliable wheel or driveshaft rotational speed information to the vehicle's computer for proper system operation
Contributes to the functionality of the speedometer, cruise control, and ABS
Manufactured to withstand the harsh environment within the vehicle
Symptoms of a Failing Speed Sensor vs. ABS Wheel Speed Sensor
Some vehicles may use the same part for both a Speed Sensor and an ABS Wheel Speed Sensor, while others may use two different parts. These parts serve different systems of the vehicle and may fail for different reasons - it is important to replace the proper sensor to fix the underlying issue.
