Hyundai Xg300 Vehicle Speed Sensor in US

The vehicle speed sensor on the Hyundai Xg300 is a single component whose data feeds multiple vehicle systems at once on your Xg300. When it fails on the Hyundai Xg300, the effects appear across your Xg300 speedometer, transmission, cruise control, and ABS simultaneously, making diagnosis less straightforward than a fault that affects only one system on the Hyundai Xg300.

Signs of a Failing Vehicle Speed Sensor on the Hyundai Xg300

• Speedometer on your Hyundai Xg300 reading zero, displaying erratically, or showing an inaccurate speed
• Harsh, erratic, or delayed transmission shifting on the Xg300, the TCM uses speed data to determine shift points
• Cruise control on your Hyundai Xg300 refuses to engage or cuts out unexpectedly during use
• ABS or traction control warning lights illuminated on the Xg300 dashboard
• Check engine light on your Hyundai Xg300 with stored codes P0500, P0501, or P0502
• Xg300 transmission entering limp mode, locking into a single gear to prevent damage

Transmission-Mounted vs. Wheel-Mounted Speed Sensors on the Hyundai Xg300

On older Hyundai Xg300 vehicles and most rear-wheel-drive designs, a dedicated transmission-mounted speed sensor monitors output shaft speed on the Xg300 and serves as the primary reference for the Xg300 speedometer and transmission control module. On modern Hyundai Xg300 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 Xg300, one sensor feeding multiple Hyundai Xg300 systems from a single mounting point.

Why GeoBrakes for the Hyundai Xg300 Vehicle Speed Sensor

Signal accuracy is the defining specification for a Hyundai Xg300 vehicle speed sensor. A sensor that generates the wrong pulse frequency for your Xg300 control modules produces incorrect speedometer readings, mis-timed transmission shifts, and inaccurate ABS calibration on your Hyundai Xg300, 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 Xg300 exact year, make, model, and sensor position.

Frequently Asked Questions - Hyundai Xg300 Vehicle Speed Sensor

Can a faulty speed sensor affect the transmission on my Hyundai Xg300?

Yes. The Hyundai Xg300 transmission control module relies on vehicle speed data to calculate correct shift timing. A failed Xg300 speed sensor can cause erratic shifting, delayed upshifts, incorrect downshifts, or trigger Xg300 limp mode.

Will a bad vehicle speed sensor turn on the check engine light on my Hyundai Xg300?

Yes. A failed Hyundai Xg300 vehicle speed sensor typically stores fault codes P0500, P0501, or P0502. Depending on the Xg300, 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 Xg300?

On many modern Hyundai Xg300 vehicles, yes, wheel hub sensors serve both the ABS system and vehicle speed sensing simultaneously on your Xg300. On older Xg300 vehicles with transmission-mounted speed sensors, they are separate components. Use the GeoBrakes vehicle selector to confirm the correct sensor type for your Hyundai Xg300.
