2000 Lanos 1.6L SX Spped Sensor

Post by va3dwo »

I find the steering very loosy goosy when I am out on the highway? Is this what a speed sensor is for? If so is it a big job to change? Thanks in advance for any advice.

SPEED SENSOR

Post by john_trickle »

Know not at all.Check to see if your need a balancing or wheel alighnemnt.

The engine speed sensor sends information to the computer telling it how fast the car is traveling. The engine speed sensor is designed to record the rate at which the crankshaft is spinning. This sensor consists of a toothed metal disk mounted on the crankshaft and a stationary detector that covers a magnetic coil that the current passes through. As the metal teeth move past the coil, its magnetic field is disturbed. This causes a stream of pulses in the current. The computer can calculate engine speed from the number of rotations of the crankshaft. The number of rotations are reported by the frequency of the pulses from the engine speed sensor.
