A bad transmission speed sensor will result in the transmission not shifting at the proper times. The defective transmission speed sensor may also cause the vehicle not to idle properly.
not shifting
Some symptoms of a bad speed sensor are a speedometer that does not work or stops, a vehicle losing power unexpectedly, rumbling or idling of the vehicle, and transmission problems when trying to shift gears. The sensor has many functions in a vehicle, including ignition timing, fuel regulation, and the operation of cruise control.
your tcm (trans. control module) will store a code and the symptoms will include inop. speedometer or out of calibration.
Fuel speed sensor? Try again, need more info.
Yes.
yes
It should...
what are the symptoms of bad tdc o2 sensor
No.. They really have nothing in common. A speed sensor sends a signal from your transmission that is shown on your gauge in the dash. That is all the sensor does- it has nothing to do to my knowledge with the shifting functions
MIGHT NEED A NEW SPEED SENSOR I posted the original question. I paid to have the symptoms diagnosed. It was actually a worn plastic gear set on the end of the speed sensor / speedometer cable and the mating gear in the transmission. The one inside the transmission requires tear-down of entire transmission... bad news.
The speed sensor sends a signal to the speedometer to show the correct speed and it sends a signal to the transmission telling when to shift. If the speed sensor is bad the speedometer will not work and the transmission will not shift correctly.
A flashing D4 light on Honda Accords is commonly the result of a bad speed sensor. The speed sensor is located on the transmission and sends a signal to the speedometer and a signal telling the transmission when to shift.
