What happens if a speed sensor goes bad?

When there are symptoms of a bad transmission speed sensor, the powertrain control module cannot control the shifting of gears within the transmission properly. This may cause transmission revs higher before shifting gear or leading late transmission overdrive and inability to go into that top gear.

How can I test my speedometer?

If you think your speedometer is inaccurate, you can use a stopwatch to check how accurate it is. Start the watch as you pass a mile marker while on the highway, and then stop it once you pass the next marker. The second hand on your stopwatch will be your speed.

Do I need to recalibrate my speedometer?

No speedometer can be 100 percent accurate. But, if a car is modified, its speedometer may need to be recalibrated. Changing tire size is one of the most common things car owners do that can affect speedometer accuracy. That's because larger tires cover more ground in one complete revolution.

What would cause the odometer to stop working?

But the plastic gears that turn an analog odometer have a tendency to break, which causes the odometer to stop spinning. If both your odometer and speedometer are not working, then it's likely your speed sensor needs to be replaced. These are easily installed and located near the back of your transmission.
