Front Vehicle Speed Sensor

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Subaru Forester, 2012 Subaru Forester, 2011 Subaru Forester, and 2010 Subaru Forester. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

This vehicle speed sensor (output shaft speed sensor) is externally mounted on the transmission case. It detects the front drive pinion shaft speed and sends sine wave signals (16 pulses per rotation) to the TCM.
