What is speed sensor B?
The vehicle speed sensor B reads the wheel speed sensor for the anti-lock brake system (ABS). There are several components that are impacted by the operation of the vehicle speed sensor. The vehicle speed sensor sends a voltage signal to the powertrain control module (PCM), which is interpreted as miles per hour (mph).
What does it mean when your speed sensor says p2159?
Basically a P2159 trouble code means that the vehicle’s speed as read by the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) “B” is outside of the expected range (too high or low for example).
What does the DTC code p2159 stand for?
The P2159 diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is an indication that there is a range/performance issue with the vehicle speed sensor B. The vehicle speed sensor B reads the wheel speed sensor for the anti-lock brake system (ABS). There are several components that are impacted by the operation of the vehicle speed sensor.
What happens if the speed sensor is not working?
If this sensor is not operating properly, the transmission shift, engine driveability, and cruise control system may all be affected by this malfunction. The vehicle speed sensor sends a voltage signal to the powertrain control module (PCM), which is interpreted as miles per hour (mph).
What is the diagnostic code for speed sensor B?
P2159 is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for “Vehicle Speed Sensor B Range/Performance”. This can happen for multiple reasons and a mechanic needs to diagnose the specific cause for this code to be triggered in your situation.
