GeoBrakes stocks OEM-grade vehicle speed sensors confirmed to fit the Chevrolet V3500, the components that supply vehicle speed data to the V3500 transmission control module, ABS system, speedometer, and cruise control simultaneously. Every Chevrolet V3500 sensor is direct-fit, calibrated to the correct signal frequency
The vehicle speed sensor on the Chevrolet V3500 is a single component whose data feeds multiple vehicle systems at once on your V3500. When it fails on the Chevrolet V3500, the effects appear across your V3500 speedometer, transmission, cruise control, and ABS simultaneously, making diagnosis less straightforward than a fault that affects only one system on the Chevrolet V3500.
On older Chevrolet V3500 vehicles and most rear-wheel-drive designs, a dedicated transmission-mounted speed sensor monitors output shaft speed on the V3500 and serves as the primary reference for the V3500 speedometer and transmission control module. On modern Chevrolet V3500 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 V3500, one sensor feeding multiple Chevrolet V3500 systems from a single mounting point.
Signal accuracy is the defining specification for a Chevrolet V3500 vehicle speed sensor. A sensor that generates the wrong pulse frequency for your V3500 control modules produces incorrect speedometer readings, mis-timed transmission shifts, and inaccurate ABS calibration on your Chevrolet V3500, even if it passes a basic resistance test. Every speed sensor in the GeoBrakes catalogue is sourced to the correct signal frequency for the Chevrolet V3500 exact year, make, model, and sensor position.
Can a faulty speed sensor affect the transmission on my Chevrolet V3500?
Yes. The Chevrolet V3500 transmission control module relies on vehicle speed data to calculate correct shift timing. A failed V3500 speed sensor can cause erratic shifting, delayed upshifts, incorrect downshifts, or trigger V3500 limp mode.
Will a bad vehicle speed sensor turn on the check engine light on my Chevrolet V3500?
Yes. A failed Chevrolet V3500 vehicle speed sensor typically stores fault codes P0500, P0501, or P0502. Depending on the V3500, 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 V3500?
On many modern Chevrolet V3500 vehicles, yes, wheel hub sensors serve both the ABS system and vehicle speed sensing simultaneously on your V3500. On older V3500 vehicles with transmission-mounted speed sensors, they are separate components. Use the GeoBrakes vehicle selector to confirm the correct sensor type for your Chevrolet V3500.
