Drive Shaft Sensors

Driveshaft sensors, also known as propshaft sensors or driveshaft speed sensors, are components that monitor the rotational speed & position of the driveshaft. The driveshaft connects the transmission or transfer case to the differential, transferring power from the engine to the wheels. The driveshaft sensor uses magnetic or Hall effect technology to detect the movement of teeth or notches on the driveshaft. It sends signals to the vehicle's engine control unit (ECU) or transmission control unit (TCU), providing important data for various functions such as traction control, stability control, & anti-lock braking systems. By accurately measuring the driveshaft speed, these sensors help ensure optimal performance & safety of the vehicle. If a driveshaft sensor fails or malfunctions, it can lead to issues like loss of traction control or improper functioning of the stability control system. Regular inspection & maintenance of driveshaft sensors are crucial to detect any potential problems & ensure the smooth operation of the vehicle.
