Good To Know

Q: How do I know this sensor fits my vehicle? A: Match the OEM reference 83181-12040 against your old sensor or parts catalog entry before ordering. Vehicle year, engine, and transmission can affect fitment.

Q: What happens when a speed sensor fails? A: You may see a dead or jumping speedometer, poor shifting, or a check engine light. Replacing the sensor typically restores the signal to the ECU and gauge cluster.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
