Can a speed sensor cause a transmission to slip?

Can a speed sensor cause a transmission to slip?

Without accurate information from the vehicle speed sensors, the transmission torque converter will be unable to apply the clutch and form a mechanical link between the engine and transmission. This can cause slipping, reduced fuel economy, and an overheated transmission.

How do I know if my transmission speed sensor is bad?

Why does my Toyota cel say p0793?

When does the p0793 sensor detect engine speed?
