Mitsubishi Raider Vehicle Speed Sensor in US

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

Signs of a Failing Vehicle Speed Sensor on the Mitsubishi Raider

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

Transmission-Mounted vs. Wheel-Mounted Speed Sensors on the Mitsubishi Raider

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

Why GeoBrakes for the Mitsubishi Raider Vehicle Speed Sensor

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Mitsubishi Raider Vehicle Speed Sensor

Can a faulty speed sensor affect the transmission on my Mitsubishi Raider?

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

Will a bad vehicle speed sensor turn on the check engine light on my Mitsubishi Raider?

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

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