Where is the speed sensor located?
Years

Answer

If you suspect that your car's RPM sensor is not working and you want to know where it is, know that it should be found mainly in two positions: on the flywheel or on the camshaft. This sensor consists of a magnet which, turning with the crankshaft, sends impulses to the control unit which thus processes the number of revolutions of the engine itself.
