Front Vehicle Speed Sensor

This vehicle speed sensor uses the hall element type sensor and is installed on the inside of transmission case. This sensor detects the drive pinion shaft speed and sends pulse signal (41 pulses per one turn) to TCM.

The vehicle speed for control is calculated from the signals of front vehicle speed sensor and rear speed vehicle sensor and is used for shifting control.
