Odometer Sensor

The odometer sensor is an essential part of a car's measuring system, responsible for recording and indicating the distance travelled by the vehicle. It is typically located in the instrument cluster or mounted on the transmission output shaft.

This sensor works by monitoring the rotations of the transmission output shaft or specific vehicle wheel(s). As the vehicle moves forward, the sensor detects the rotational movements and sends electrical signals to the car's onboard computer system.

Based on the received signals, the computer calculates and displays the distance covered on the car's odometer. This enables the driver and other parties, such as the car manufacturer or service technicians, to monitor and track the mileage accurately. The odometer reading is vital for various purposes, including maintenance schedule management, insurance claims, resale value assessment, and overall vehicle performance evaluation.
