Chrysler 300m Vehicle Speed Sensor in US

The vehicle speed sensor on the Chrysler 300m is a single component whose data feeds multiple vehicle systems at once on your 300m. When it fails on the Chrysler 300m, the effects appear across your 300m speedometer, transmission, cruise control, and ABS simultaneously, making diagnosis less straightforward than a fault that affects only one system on the Chrysler 300m.

Signs of a Failing Vehicle Speed Sensor on the Chrysler 300m

• Speedometer on your Chrysler 300m reading zero, displaying erratically, or showing an inaccurate speed
• Harsh, erratic, or delayed transmission shifting on the 300m, the TCM uses speed data to determine shift points
• Cruise control on your Chrysler 300m refuses to engage or cuts out unexpectedly during use
• ABS or traction control warning lights illuminated on the 300m dashboard
• Check engine light on your Chrysler 300m with stored codes P0500, P0501, or P0502
• 300m transmission entering limp mode, locking into a single gear to prevent damage

Transmission-Mounted vs. Wheel-Mounted Speed Sensors on the Chrysler 300m

On older Chrysler 300m vehicles and most rear-wheel-drive designs, a dedicated transmission-mounted speed sensor monitors output shaft speed on the 300m and serves as the primary reference for the 300m speedometer and transmission control module. On modern Chrysler 300m 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 300m, one sensor feeding multiple Chrysler 300m systems from a single mounting point.

Why GeoBrakes for the Chrysler 300m Vehicle Speed Sensor

Signal accuracy is the defining specification for a Chrysler 300m vehicle speed sensor. A sensor that generates the wrong pulse frequency for your 300m control modules produces incorrect speedometer readings, mis-timed transmission shifts, and inaccurate ABS calibration on your Chrysler 300m, even if it passes a basic resistance test. Every speed sensor in the GeoBrakes catalogue is sourced to the correct signal frequency for the Chrysler 300m exact year, make, model, and sensor position.

Frequently Asked Questions - Chrysler 300m Vehicle Speed Sensor

Can a faulty speed sensor affect the transmission on my Chrysler 300m?

Yes. The Chrysler 300m transmission control module relies on vehicle speed data to calculate correct shift timing. A failed 300m speed sensor can cause erratic shifting, delayed upshifts, incorrect downshifts, or trigger 300m limp mode.

Will a bad vehicle speed sensor turn on the check engine light on my Chrysler 300m?

Yes. A failed Chrysler 300m vehicle speed sensor typically stores fault codes P0500, P0501, or P0502. Depending on the 300m, 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 Chrysler 300m?

On many modern Chrysler 300m vehicles, yes, wheel hub sensors serve both the ABS system and vehicle speed sensing simultaneously on your 300m. On older 300m vehicles with transmission-mounted speed sensors, they are separate components. Use the GeoBrakes vehicle selector to confirm the correct sensor type for your Chrysler 300m.
