Best Answer

There are two types of speed sensors, ABS speed sensors (braking system) and vehicle speed sensors (transmission). The ABS speed sensor is located near the brake caliper to read speed and braking patterns to detect whether ABS brake pulsation is needed to prevent brake lock up.

The vehicle speed sensor reads signals from the transmission to give an accurate measurement of vehicle speed to your speedometer and odometer.
