Detailed Description

The Standard Ignition SC470 transmission speed sensor is engineered as an OE-style replacement for vehicles that need reliable output shaft speed signal input. It is used in applications where the transmission control system monitors shaft speed to support shifting performance and drivability. This part cross-references 5S8111 and 72-4052 for the same application. The SC470 is a practical replacement choice for 2012-2020 Chevrolet Impala, 2007-2019 GMC Acadia, 2008-2017 Buick Enclave, 2007-2017 Chevrolet Equinox, 2009-2017 Chevrolet Traverse, 2017 GMC Acadia Limited, 2010-2016 Buick LaCrosse, 2010-2016 Cadillac SRX, 2008-2015 Chevrolet Malibu, and 2010 GMC Terrain.

What It Helps Fix

• Erratic or incorrect transmission speed signal readings
• Harsh, delayed, or inconsistent shifting behavior
• Transmission warning lights related to speed sensor faults
• Loss of accurate output shaft speed data at the transfer case
• Drivability issues caused by a failing automatic transmission output shaft speed sensor

Installation Notes and Tips

Install the SC470 on the transfer case using the bolt-mount location and verify the rectangular connector locks fully into place. Confirm the vehicle application before installation, especially on Chevrolet Impala, GMC Acadia, and Chevrolet Equinox models, since transmission sensor configurations can vary by year and drivetrain setup. Inspect the connector and harness routing before final assembly to ensure a secure electrical connection.
