Get the right RL sensor the first time with the Standard Ignition Automatic Transmission Input Shaft Speed Sensor / Vehicle Speed Sensor (MPN SC242), a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2008 Acura RL [All]. This part is listed under both names — Input Shaft Speed Sensor and Vehicle Speed Sensor — because it is cataloged both ways. It reads the rotation of its target inside the automatic transmission and sends that speed signal to the powertrain control module, which the vehicle uses for shift timing, speedometer, and related functions.

  • Speed signal: Converts shaft rotation into an electrical signal the transmission and engine controls rely on.
  • Control input: Feeds the powertrain control module the speed data used for shift timing and the speedometer.
  • Direct-fit application: Designed to install on the listed Acura RL applications.

Signs this sensor may need replacing include a speed-related trouble code, an erratic or dead speedometer, or harsh or delayed shifting. Because these symptoms can have other causes, diagnose the fault before replacing. If a failed speed sensor is confirmed as the cause, this SC242 replaces it.

Fitment: 2005-2008 Acura RL [All].

Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicles does the SC242 sensor fit?

It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2008 Acura RL [All]. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm it matches your vehicle.

Is this an input shaft speed sensor or a vehicle speed sensor?

It is cataloged under both names — Automatic Transmission Input Shaft Speed Sensor and Vehicle Speed Sensor — so you may find it listed either way.

What does this RL sensor do?

It converts shaft rotation into an electrical speed signal sent to the powertrain control module, which uses it for shift timing and speedometer functions.

What are the signs this sensor may need replacing?

A speed-related trouble code, an erratic or non-working speedometer, or harsh or delayed shifting. Diagnose the cause first, since these can have other sources.

Will replacing this sensor fix my shifting problem?

If a failed speed sensor is confirmed as the cause, this SC242 replaces it. Other components can produce similar symptoms, so diagnose before installing.
