Help the speedometer, cruise control, and traction-control systems read accurate road speed with the Walker Products Vehicle Speed Sensor 240-1045. This vehicle speed sensor generates electrical pulses through a magnet that spins a sensor coil, sending those pulses to the computer; as vehicle speed increases, the frequency of the pulse increases too. It's a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of GM vehicles, including the 2000-2011 Chevrolet Impala, the 2006-2007 Chevrolet Malibu, and the 1995-2002 and 2010-2015 Chevrolet Camaro. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
- Accurate Speed Measurement: delivers precise vehicle speed readings for consistent monitoring.
- Robust Construction: built to withstand tough road conditions for long-lasting reliability.
- Effortless Integration: designed for easy installation to minimize downtime during the swap.
- Signal for Safety Systems: supplies the speed input the braking and traction-control systems use, helping them work as intended.
If a faulty original speed sensor is the cause of an erratic or dead speedometer, dropped cruise control, harsh shifting, or an illuminated warning light, this sensor replaces it. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
