Rear Vehicle Speed Sensor

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

This vehicle speed sensor (output shaft speed sensor) is a Hall element type sensor and is externally mounted on the extension case. It detects the rear drive shaft speed in terms of the peripheral speed of the transfer clutch drum and sends pulse signals (30 pulses per rotation) to the TCM.
