m sprank Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 All four ABS sensors at the wheels are speed sensors. You have 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssbtech Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 So is a speed censor someone who drives around spraypainting speed limit signs with black paint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 No, it is someone who is can redact at a really high speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 well after this crazy snow we just got up here in ct, my speedo is working again but my e/t is still not working Speed sensor is not bad. You spun a wheel in the snow. ECU saw a "faulty" reading. Once everything was corrected for a bit, the ECU is happy again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then went out for lunch and the speedo was all over the place. Whats up with that! NO DRIFTING???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Each ABS sensor (1 at all four wheels) acts as a speed sensor. If any one of the four do not give an "accurate" reading, you get the "ER SS". The pick up for the ABS/Spped sensor is in the wheel bearing. If you spin any wheel, you take the chance of the "ER SS". If you have the car on stands and spin one wheel to much with the key in you will get it too. you can drift. just not on slippery surfaces. if you s=pin the tires with resistance (like dry roads) it does not happen. It seems to happen a LOT in snow. I have never seen a sensor half way bad. Not a bearing pick up either. They are either good or not. But, I have seen loose/bad connections and bad grounds cause faulty communication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
