Plymouth Breeze Vehicle Speed Sensor in US

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

Signs of a Failing Vehicle Speed Sensor on the Plymouth Breeze

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

Transmission-Mounted vs. Wheel-Mounted Speed Sensors on the Plymouth Breeze

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

Why GeoBrakes for the Plymouth Breeze Vehicle Speed Sensor

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Plymouth Breeze Vehicle Speed Sensor

Can a faulty speed sensor affect the transmission on my Plymouth Breeze?

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

Will a bad vehicle speed sensor turn on the check engine light on my Plymouth Breeze?

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

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