Chevrolet Impala Limited Vehicle Speed Sensor in US

The vehicle speed sensor on the Chevrolet Impala Limited is a single component whose data feeds multiple vehicle systems at once on your Impala Limited. When it fails on the Chevrolet Impala Limited, the effects appear across your Impala Limited speedometer, transmission, cruise control, and ABS simultaneously, making diagnosis less straightforward than a fault that affects only one system on the Chevrolet Impala Limited.

Signs of a Failing Vehicle Speed Sensor on the Chevrolet Impala Limited

• Speedometer on your Chevrolet Impala Limited reading zero, displaying erratically, or showing an inaccurate speed
• Harsh, erratic, or delayed transmission shifting on the Impala Limited, the TCM uses speed data to determine shift points
• Cruise control on your Chevrolet Impala Limited refuses to engage or cuts out unexpectedly during use
• ABS or traction control warning lights illuminated on the Impala Limited dashboard
• Check engine light on your Chevrolet Impala Limited with stored codes P0500, P0501, or P0502

Transmission-Mounted vs. Wheel-Mounted Speed Sensors on the Chevrolet Impala Limited

On older Chevrolet Impala Limited vehicles and most rear-wheel-drive designs, a dedicated transmission-mounted speed sensor monitors output shaft speed on the Impala Limited and serves as the primary reference for the Impala Limited speedometer and transmission control module. On modern Chevrolet Impala Limited front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive platforms, wheel hub sensors serve the dual function of ABS speed sensing and vehicle speed data delivery on the Impala Limited, one sensor feeding multiple Chevrolet Impala Limited systems from a single mounting point.

Why GeoBrakes for the Chevrolet Impala Limited Vehicle Speed Sensor

Signal accuracy is the defining specification for a Chevrolet Impala Limited vehicle speed sensor.

Every speed sensor in the GeoBrakes catalogue is sourced to the correct signal frequency for the Chevrolet Impala Limited exact year, make, model, and sensor position.

Frequently Asked Questions - Chevrolet Impala Limited Vehicle Speed Sensor

Can a faulty speed sensor affect the transmission on my Chevrolet Impala Limited?

Yes. The Chevrolet Impala Limited transmission control module relies on vehicle speed data to calculate correct shift timing. A failed Impala Limited speed sensor can cause erratic shifting, delayed upshifts, incorrect downshifts, or trigger Impala Limited limp mode.

Will a bad vehicle speed sensor turn on the check engine light on my Chevrolet Impala Limited?

Yes. A failed Chevrolet Impala Limited vehicle speed sensor typically stores fault codes P0500, P0501, or P0502. Depending on the Impala Limited, it may also trigger ABS, traction control, or transmission warning lights simultaneously.

Is the vehicle speed sensor the same as the ABS wheel speed sensor on my Chevrolet Impala Limited?

On many modern Chevrolet Impala Limited vehicles, yes, wheel hub sensors serve both the ABS system and vehicle speed sensing simultaneously on your Impala Limited. On older Impala Limited vehicles with transmission-mounted speed sensors, they are separate components.
