Detailed Description

This Walker vehicle speed sensor is engineered to provide precise vehicle speed readings for systems that rely on transmission speed input or output data. Accurate speed signal delivery helps the vehicle control modules manage shifting behavior, braking response, traction control logic, and engine speed-related adjustments. The Sensor Only product line focuses on the sensing component itself, making it a practical choice when the existing connector style and mounting layout match the application.

Part Number 240-1517 is listed for Honda Accord, Honda CR-Z, Honda Civic, and Acura TL applications across the confirmed model years shown in the fitment data. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Erratic or inaccurate vehicle speed readings
• Transmission shifting concerns tied to speed signal loss
• ABS, traction control, or stability system faults related to speed input
• Engine performance issues caused by incorrect speed-based data
• Intermittent sensor operation from worn electrical or mounting components

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, wire count, and bolt-mount layout before installation. Confirm the application by year, make, model, and sensor location: Fits 2008-2017 Honda Accord, transmission output shaft speed sensor; Fits 2011-2016 Honda CR-Z, sensor only; Fits 2012-2015 Honda Civic, sensor only; Fits 2010-2014 Acura TL, transmission input shaft speed sensor. Inspect the mating connector and mounting surface for corrosion, damage, or contamination before installing the replacement sensor.

Quality Assurance

Walker manufactures this sensor with a plastic housing and a design intended for consistent speed signal monitoring in the listed applications. Part Number 240-1517 is cataloged for direct application matching across the confirmed Honda and Acura fitments.
