About Speed Sensors

Many modern vehicles have a Mercedes-Benz speed sensor. This sophisticated component is used to detect the speed of the vehicle and pass this information on to a variety of other components such as the anti-lock braking system, the cruise control system and the variable assist power steering system.

The majority of newer vehicles with a Mercedes-Benz speed sensor will have a model that operates through a permanent magnet. The Mercedes-Benz speed sensor will be mounted either in the vehicle’s rear differential assembly or in the transmission case. If the Mercedes-Benz speed sensor is mounted in the transmission case it is most likely that it will be gear driven whilst a Mercedes-Benz speed sensor mounted in the rear differential operates by means of a trigger wheel that is mounted with the ring gear.  Regardless of the location of the Mercedes-Benz speed sensor mounting, the same information is collated and distributed electronically to other parts of the vehicle.

Because there are several tasks to which the Mercedes-Benz speed sensor is integral, a faulty sensor might reveal itself in a variety of ways. If the cruise control stops working, the speedometer ceases to operate or the anti lock braking system begins to behave erratically, the source of the problem may well be a faulty Mercedes-Benz speed sensor.

If this is the case it is essential to replace the faulty sensor to ensure that the functioning of all of those dependent components is restored.

Mercedes-Benz trivia

• The longest sedan vehicle available in today's car market is the S-Class Pullman, at a mind-boggling 6.5 metres long. Bear in mind that the average length of a sedan is only 4.7 metres!
• In 1924, Mercedes Benz became the first car manufacturer to include brakes on all four of a car's wheels. Not long after, in 1931, they also added suspension springs to the corners of the Mercedes Benz 170.
• Nepal had very few roads at the time, but the car company still gifted a shiny new Merc to the king of the country in 1940. It was the first car that had ever been in Nepal!
• If you thought self-driving cars were all about Tesla, then it might surprise you to know that Mercedes Benz made an autonomously driving vehicle as early as 1995. It didn't gain popularity, but it became the foundation of the modern driving technology found in every Mercedes Benz.
• Most people think of silver when they think of a Mercedes, but that iconic colour was an accident. Just before a race in 1934, the white-painted W25 was found to be 1kg over the weight limit. The paint was quickly removed, the weight limit reached, and the car won the race.
