Where is the speed sensor on a Nissan Altima?

Where is the speed sensor on a Nissan Altima?

The battery in the Nissan Altima is located on the driver-side of the engine compartment in front of the air filter housing. Remove the electrical connector from the speed sensor located on the driver-side of the transmission near the firewall.

Why does my Nissan speed sensor keep coming back?

On most Nissan models the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is installed in the transaxle, on some Nissan models poor connection at the speedometer can cause the problem. Before replacing the sensor you should try cleaning the sensor gear and clearing the code. If the light comes back you may have to replace the sensor. What does this mean?

Where does the speed sensor on Nissan p0500 come from?

The Engine Control Module ( ECM) receives vehicle speed signals from two different paths via CAN communication line: One is from the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) Actuator and Electric Unit (Control Unit) via the combination unit and the other is from Transmission Control Module (TCM). Need more information on how to fix the P0500 NISSAN code?

How do you install a sensor in a transmission?

Insert the new sensor into the transmission and push it down as you twist it until it seats completely in the transmission. Rotate the sensor to line up the mounting hole and install the 10 mm bolt. Tighten the bolt securely and plug the electrical connector into the new sensor.

I’m still trying to find info on the revolution sensor and the Vehicle speed sensor. On Page AT-23of the 2006 Altima shop manual there is a drawing at the bottom of the page that shows the location of the revolution sensor (F38), the turbine revolution sensor (F37), and the vehicle speed sensor (F36).

How does the Revolution sensor work on a Nissan?

But on Page AT-122 it says “The revolution sensor detects the revolution of the idler gear parking pawl lock gear and emits a pulse signal. The pulse signal is sent to the TCM which converts it into vehicle speed.”

Is there a speed sensor on a Nissan SL?

I’ve located the revolution sensor (and the turbine revolution sensor) but I cannot locate the vehicle speed sensor which I think Nissan calls the speedometer pinion assembly. All the schmatics I’ve seen and the shop manual are very vague or the pictures are not clear. I have a 2005 2.5 SL.

Where is the speed sensor located on a Nissan club?

It is located on the torque converter housing on the side closest to the firewall and is mounted in a vertical position with the pinion gear pointing down. It is easiest to access it from the top.

What to do if your transmission speed sensor is bad?

Once the problem has been fixed, the mechanic will reset the error codes. If the problem rests with the speed sensors, depending on your particular transmission, the professional ASE certified mechanics may be able to replace the sensor.

Can a bad speed sensor affect shift timing?

Harsh or improper shifting. Without a valid speed signal from these sensors, the PCM will not be able to correctly control the shifting of gears within the transmission. This may cause the transmission to shift roughly or more quickly than normal. It’s also common that a problem with these sensors can impact the shift timing,…

What are the symptoms of a bad wheel speed sensor?

Symptoms of a Bad or Failing Wheel Speed Sensor Common signs include the ABS Light coming on, ABS not working properly, and the Traction Control Light staying on. by Timothy Charlet on January 13, 2016 1.

How to replace vehicle speed sensors in Altimas?

Twist the sensor as you pull it from the transmission. Compare the gear on the end of the new sensor with the gear on the end of the old sensor. They should be the same color and shape. Insert the new sensor into the transmission and push it down as you twist it until it seats completely in the transmission.
