Vehicle Speed Sensor for Kia Rio, Spectra, and Sephia

Standard Ignition SC398 is a new OE replacement vehicle speed sensor built for direct-fit service on select Kia applications. It uses a bolt-mount design with a rectangular, plug-in connector to support straightforward replacement on the listed Rio, Spectra, and Sephia models.

  • Vehicle speed sensor for electronic speed signal input
  • OE replacement for factory-style fit and connector layout
  • Bolt mount installation with 1 mounting hole
  • Rectangular plug-in connector, male terminal design
  • Black and red housing finish
  • No harness, dust shield, or mounting hardware included

Detailed Product Overview

Standard Ignition SC398 is engineered as a direct replacement vehicle speed sensor for 1998-2001 Kia Sephia, 2000-2004 Kia Spectra, and 2001-2005 Kia Rio applications. The sensor features a 3-blade terminal arrangement, 1 connector, and a bolt-mount attachment method, making it a practical OE-style service part for restoring speed signal output in the drivetrain or transmission system. If you are searching for a Kia Rio vehicle speed sensor, Kia Spectra speed sensor, or Kia Sephia speed sensor, SC398 is the part number to reference.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., SN7333, VSS933) for the same application. Standard Ignition SC398 also cross-references OE number 0K2A217400.

What It Helps Address

  • Erratic or inaccurate speedometer readings
  • Loss of vehicle speed signal to the control system
  • Transmission shift concerns related to speed input
  • Illuminated warning lights tied to speed sensor faults
  • Intermittent drivability issues caused by a failing sensor

Installation Notes

Confirm connector shape, terminal count, and mounting style before installation. SC398 installs with a bolt mount and uses a plug-in electrical connection, so the original harness should be inspected for corrosion, damaged terminals, or loose fitment before the new sensor is installed. Because no harness or mounting hardware is included, reuse the existing vehicle components where applicable.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition SC398 is a new OE replacement sensor built to match the listed factory applications for Kia Rio, Kia Spectra, and Kia Sephia models.
