Vehicle Speed Sensors (VSS) for Trucks
This page covers the vehicle speed side of the 29-entry speed sensor family, with catalogued references including Volvo 265007087, Scania 211548 (OE 81271210058) and Mercedes-Benz 211221 (OE 526144).
Replacement is straightforward once the right sensor is identified, and identification is the whole game. Quote the OE number from the sensor you removed whenever possible. If the number is unreadable, send the gearbox type and truck model year — the catalogue applications are listed by vehicle brand, model, engine, gearbox, axle and cabin, and the catalogue check is run against the entries those fields point to. Note the distinction from wheel speed sensors: the two names belong to different families in this catalogue, ordered from different pages of this site.
Order by OE number, not by guesswork
A vehicle speed sensor order starts from the gearbox, not the dashboard: send the OE number from the old unit — 265007087, 81271210058 and 526144 are catalogued examples — plus the vehicle model and gearbox type. The entry your number lands on is confirmed against its application listing before pricing. Include the fault text if you have it, with the OE number, the vehicle model and the gearbox type. Numbers not printed on this page are run against the whole 29-entry speed family before a reply is given.
Fitment confirmation checklist
Fitment is confirmed from the inquiry, so the inquiry has to carry the evidence: vehicle make and model, engine type, the OE number off the old part, and a note of any connector or mounting oddity. Engine detail carries particular weight for vehicle speed sensor orders, since a single truck model can ship with different engines and different sensor specifications. The confirmation follows the applications listed on the catalogue entry itself, and where your model is not listed, that is stated plainly rather than glossed over. For a stock list, send the OE numbers in a spreadsheet for a line-by-line matched or not-matched reply.
Packaging, stock and dispatch
Vehicle speed sensors are confirmed against gearbox variants. The four boxes are offered: blue or white neutral boxes, which the buyer can label in-house, and OEMEMBER or UAP branded boxes for listed resale. Dispatch runs on the catalogue's figures: more than 100 catalogued items can be dispatched within 3 days, and more than 2,700 within 15 days. Warranty terms are confirmed in the quotation before payment. Certificates are available upon request. Retain the confirmed OE list from your first order among your own records and quote it back on any repeat order.
Frequently asked questions
What should I send for a vehicle speed sensor match?
Send the OE number from the old unit, or the gearbox type with the truck model and year. The catalogue applications are listed by vehicle brand, model, engine, gearbox, axle and cabin, and the check is run against the entries those fields point to.
Is the VSS the same as a wheel speed sensor?
No. They belong to different families in this catalogue, with different references.
Can you match a sensor from the gearbox type alone?
Send the truck model and year with it, and the catalogue check is run against the entries those fields point to. The OE number is the direct confirmation, so include it whenever it is readable.
Replacing a vehicle speed sensor? Send the VSS number or gearbox type for a match.
Send the OE number, vehicle model and engine — fitment is confirmed against the catalogue entry before any quotation. Samples and mixed-OE orders are welcome.
