Vehicle Speed Sensor: Camry

  1. Vehicle speed sensor is mounted on transaxle and contains a 3-pin electrical connector. See Fig 1. Raise and support vehicle so one front wheel is off the ground. Place transaxle in Neutral.
  2. Turn ignition on. Using voltmeter, check voltage between terminals No. 2 and 3 on vehicle speed sensor while rotating the front wheel with electrical connector installed on vehicle speed sensor. See Fig 2. Voltage should change from zero volts to 10-14 volts several times while rotating the front wheel. If voltage is not as specified, it may be necessary to verify that battery voltage exists at terminal No. 1 on vehicle speed sensor. If battery voltage exists, replace vehicle speed sensor. See VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR under ENGINE SENSORS & SWITCHES in REMOVAL, OVERHAUL & INSTALLATION - 4-CYLINDER article. If battery voltage does not exist, check wiring circuit to electrical terminal No. 1 on vehicle speed sensor. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. If necessary to check GAUGE No. 1 fuse, this fuse is located is located in fuse/relay box behind driver's side of instrument panel.
