Quick facts
- Part: Dorman 917-616 vehicle speed sensor
- Fits: 1988-1999 Chevrolet K1500 and other vehicles
- Material: Plastic and metal housing
- Condition: New
A worn vehicle speed sensor can show up as an erratic or dead speedometer, cruise control that drops out, or a check engine light. These signs alone do not prove the sensor is at fault, since damaged wiring at the connector is another common source.
Fits
The 1988-1999 Chevrolet K1500, the 1995-2000 Chevrolet Tahoe and the 1992-2000 GMC Yukon take this sensor as a direct-fit replacement, and so do many other Chevrolet, GMC and Cadillac models. If yours is not named here, look for it in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
