What is the purpose of the Vehicle Speed Sensor and How tot be checked and replaced on Nissan Frontier?

The Vehicle Speed Sensor is a permanent magnet generator mounted on the transmission case. It produces an AC voltage sine wave, the frequency of which is proportional to vehicle speed. The PCM uses the sensor input signal for several different engine and transmission control functions. The Vehicle Speed Sensor signal also drives the speedometer on the instrument panel. A defective Vehicle Speed Sensor can cause various driveabilily and transmission problems. The PCM can detect sensor problems and set trouble codes to indicate specific faults. To check, remove the Vehicle Speed Sensor from the transmission. Connect a voltmeter to the two terminals of the Vehicle Speed Sensor, set the meter on the AC scale and spin the sensor drive gear by hand. The sensor should generate approximately 0.5 volts AC. If no AC voltage signal is produced, replace the sensor. If the Vehicle Speed Sensor is good, check for continuity between the sensor connector and the instrument cluster. If the wiring is good, have the instrument cluster and PCM diagnosed by a dealer service department or other qualified repair facility. To replace, raise the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. Disconnect the electrical connector from the Vehicle Speed Sensor. Remove the hold-down bolt and clamp and remove the Vehicle Speed Sensor from the transmission. Inspect the 0-ring on the sensor and replace it if damaged. If you are installing a new sensor, use a new 0-ring. Installation is the reverse of removal.

Nissan Frontier Vehicle Speed Sensor

The truck's control modules receive the Frontier's road speed in real time from the Vehicle Speed Sensor. This enables precise mapping of fuel delivery, shifting of transmission, and responses to safety sensors. In the past, it has worked with passive Vehicle Speed Sensors. These sensors have a magnetic pickup. This pickup is aimed at a toothed tone ring. Moving teeth end up warping a magnetic field. The Vehicle Speed Sensor then generates an analog sine wave. It then sends this sine wave to the computer. Later trucks have an active Vehicle Speed Sensor. This sensor retains the tone ring but adds internal electronics. It produces a crisp digital pulse and is still readable at very low wheel speeds. The two versions rotate the same way, but the active style can manage larger air gaps, resist signal noise, and support ABS and other systems more reliably. Fastened to the transmission or differential of a Nissan Frontier, the Vehicle Speed Sensor counts revolutions of the ring to ensure speed readings match the action occurring in the drivetrain. Should the signal from the Vehicle Speed Sensor drop out, the speedometer quits, and cruise or stability aids on a Nissan misbehave, revealing the compact unit's importance for every Nissan Frontier.
