What is a speed sensor? and what does it do?
if your talking about vehicle speed sensor, it is the sensor that monitors how fast a vehicle is traveling by how fast a gear in the transmission is turning and converts mechanical motion into electrical pulses and sends this signal to the speedometer on the dash as well as to the computer. if your talking about wheel speed sensor this is an electrical pulse generator at each wheel that monitors wheel speed and is compared to the other wheel sensors by the abs /traction control module to check for a differential to turn on the light and or apply brakes in the case of traction control system or release hydraulic brake pressure in the case of wheel lock up.
