Excuse me if I'm wrong because I don't know everything. So I'm gonna take a stab at this with what I do know. ( you didn't specify what model) On a 2001 Dodge 2500 5.9L 24 valve Turbo diesel; if the speed sensor goes out, your speedometer will not work, the cruise control will not work, and the ABS and brake lights will remain "on". Some times if it is erratice or bad, the speedometer needle will bounce around. Sometimes the above symptoms will all occur simultaneously and sometimes randomly but rest assured they will all occur pretty quickly. The rear speed sensor on this vehicle is located on the upper front center of the differential and is relatively easy and inexpensive to replace. I won't go into further detail but you can read all about it if you visit your local auto parts store and purchase an after market shop manual for your particular automobile. It will make a splendid, wonderful and special addition to your technical library.

What does the over speed sensor do on a 1997 Jeep Grand Loredo A diagnostics scan says over speed sensor out of range - check engine light occasionally comes on?

I can't tell you what it does, but I can tell you it is a pretty easy fix. I believe the part is in the 10-20 dollar range. The sensor is located on the driver's side rear portion of the transmission. Take it out with a 1 inch wrench (some fluid will run out of the hole. I replaced the sensor the first time the check engine light came on, however the sensor is magnetic and collects any ferrous debris in the transmission fluid, and simply cleaning it with a rag worked on subsequent occasions.
