A how to video to replace the speed sensor of the 2002 Ford Focus and Fiesta’s. Symptoms experienced are speedometer dropping out, loss of engine power and drop in voltage across electronics in the car.
Common parts that break during this is the metal pin (with the flat tab snapping during removal) and also sometimes the sensor itself snapping in half leaving the lower part remaining within the transmission housing.
All the work was done from the top of the engine. Slow and methodical in practice ensures that any breakage or losing loose parts on the floor or into the gearbox.
 SPEED SENSOR REPLACEMENT – DIY')){kind=link}
Proper title would be nice… U didn't even put an engine size lol. Good bud tho
Trust me. It’s not as easy as it looks to pull the sensor out. I’ve been battling with mine for 3 days now. I’m starting to question if I really need a speedometer.
Was nice to see how you find the location of it
Thankyou, you make it look quite simple. I'd heard that it was a very difficult job. 🙂
hi guys I have changed my car speed sensor 2 months ago i got a used one it was working good but now only after 2 months it stop working sometime same like before I dnt know now what the problem again I dnt know it's possible sensor is not working or have other issues with the electric can anyone advice me plz wht to do now
Hanz,took the vss, and broke the hook, put, but is not working, what is the correct position of the sensor?
this is the ABS wheel speed sensor?
I have a 2002 Ford Focus SE Vin number "P" 5 speed manual. While driving on cruise, speedometer suddenly went down to zero, all digital displays blank. Immediately after 10 seconds, everything started normal, however the engine light came on. The code is PO720. The auto parts stores are not clear about which output speed sensor it uses. I am not a mechanic. Some say it is the straight one S41018, Others say it is the one with a 90 degrees twist SU8819, How do I know which sensor to buy and give it to the mechanic for replacement? Also, where is it located? Also, can it be responsible for the clutch fluid leakage? (There is just one compartment for brake/clutch fluid) I have replaced clutch slave cylinders leaking in the recent past.
doing mine soon thanks gave me a good look at what needs to be done, allso here that earth,s are bad on fords,
Awesome walk through, clear to follow!
