Chevrolet Tracker Vehicle Speed Sensor
The Chevrolet Tracker Vehicle Speed Sensor provides critical information about the speed of the road to the vehicle's computers, allowing them to adjust the output of the engine and brakes. Early models applied a passive Vehicle Speed Sensor based on the combination of a magnetic pickup and a tone ring with teeth, which generates a crude wave signal as each tooth passes the tip. More recent models use an active Vehicle Speed Sensor that incorporates in-sensor electronics to create a more graceful digital pulse, manage wider air gaps, and remain accurate at very low or very high speeds. Regardless of the version, the Vehicle Speed Sensor is applied as an input to the powertrain control module, which adjusts fuel injection timing, transmission shift points, and cruise control while also providing the anti-lock brake controller with wheel rotation figures to ensure safer stops. The primary difference between the passive and active styles is the signal output and power requirements, with the passive unit self-generating voltage from magnetic interference and the active unit requiring a small supply current to amplify and square the signal. Owners of the compact Chevrolet SUV appreciate that all Tracker editions since the update are plug-and-play compatible, and choosing which Chevrolet replacement to get is simply a matter of production year and whether the Tracker in question applied a passive or active Vehicle Speed Sensor.

Chevrolet Tracker Vehicle Speed Sensor Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: What is the importance and function of the Vehicle Speed Sensor on Chevrolet Tracker?A:The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is an important component in vehicles. The VSS is integrated into the speedometer and consists of a reed switch and magnet. The magnet's rotation with the speedometer cable causes the reed switch to turn on and off, generating a pulsing voltage signal that is sent to the PCM to calculate vehicle speed. If a failure occurs, code 24 is set. In the later models, the VSS is located on the side of the transmission or transfer case and consists of a Hall effect element, magnet, and gear. As the sensor gear is turned by a drive gear, the signal voltage switches back and forth in a square-wave form, with the frequency increasing in proportion to vehicle speed. This signal is sent to the PCM to control various devices, and a P0500 diagnostic trouble code is set if there is a problem in the VSS circuit.
