How to remove and install the electronic speed sensor on Ford Focus?

The Focus features an electronic speedometer, utilizing an electronic sensor in the transaxle instead of the older cable-driven mechanical type. This sensor transmits the speed signal to the instrument panel through the engine management PCM, which also uses the signal for fuel system-related calculations. To access the speed sensor, apply the parking brake, loosen the left-hand front wheel nuts, and lift the front of the car on axle stands. After removing the left-hand front wheel and the fenderwell liner, the sensor can be found next to the right-hand drive axle at the rear of the transaxle. Disconnect the wiring plug from the top of the sensor, then use needle-nose pliers to remove the retaining pin at the base of the sensor, taking note of its installation. Carefully pull the sensor out of the transaxle, expecting some oil spillage, and recover the O-ring seal, replacing it if necessary. For installation, reverse the removal steps, ensuring to lightly oil the O-ring before placing the assembly back into the transaxle casing.

Ford Focus Vehicle Speed Sensor

The case of Ford Focus vehicles would reveal that the Vehicle Speed Sensor was vital in the measurement of the vehicle's speed as well as the rotational speed of the wheels. This data is crucial for the vehicle Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) and wheel Vehicle Speed Sensors (WSS) in relaying information to a computer modules to modify specific functions of systems such as of the engine and the anti-lock braking system (ABS). In Ford Focus models, both passive and active types of wheel Vehicle Speed Sensors have been used in the course of years. Passive sensors create sinusoidal signals based on magnetic interference While active sensors add to this with signal conditioning of the different outputs. The development of these Vehicle Speed Sensors has enhanced their stability and efficacy of the performance of vehicles under different circumstances.

We provide a wide range of Ford Focus Vehicle Speed Sensor at the best prices possible. If you need Ford Focus Vehicle Speed Sensor, you can shop with confidence on our website. All our OEM parts come with a manufacturer's warranty and are delivered to your door step with a fast delivery service.
