Hyundai Azera Vehicle Speed Sensor in US

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

Signs of a Failing Vehicle Speed Sensor on the Hyundai Azera

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

Transmission-Mounted vs. Wheel-Mounted Speed Sensors on the Hyundai Azera

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

Why GeoBrakes for the Hyundai Azera Vehicle Speed Sensor

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Hyundai Azera Vehicle Speed Sensor

Can a faulty speed sensor affect the transmission on my Hyundai Azera?

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

Will a bad vehicle speed sensor turn on the check engine light on my Hyundai Azera?

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

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