Standard Motor Products SC816 Vehicle Speed Sensor VSS

The Standard Motor Products SC816 is a direct-fit replacement Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) engineered to restore accurate speed signal output to your vehicle's electronic control systems. Sold individually, this 2-wire sensor is built to OE specifications for reliable, trouble-free performance.

What the Vehicle Speed Sensor Does:

The VSS measures transmission or transaxle output speed and sends that data to the Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM uses this information to manage critical vehicle functions including ignition timing, air/fuel ratio, transmission shift points, torque converter clutch operation, idle-air control, and canister-purge cycle regulation. In OBD-II equipped vehicles, vehicle speed is integrated into the overall engine operating strategy, making the VSS one of the most influential sensors on the vehicle.
