This magnetic device measures vehicle speed by monitoring the transmission\/transaxle output or wheel speed. If the powertrain control module (PCM) detects the vehicle has been driven at a speed that exceeds a calibrated limit, the vehicle&rsquo;s computer will store a P0297 code on a scan tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does the P0297 Code Mean?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Diagnostic trouble code P0297 stands for &ldquo;Vehicle Overspeed Condition.&rdquo; This is a generic powertrain code that applies to vehicles with OBD-II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most vehicles have a speed limiter system that will enact a high-speed fail-safe strategy when the vehicle is driven at speeds that exceed a calibrated limit. The strategy, which is primarily designed to protect the powertrain from damage, will usually disable one or more of the engine&rsquo;s fuel injectors to slow the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"614\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/vehicle-speed-sensor-1024x614.png\" alt=\"vehicle speed sensor\" class=\"wp-image-72748\" style=\"width:1024px;height:614px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/vehicle-speed-sensor-1024x614.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/vehicle-speed-sensor-300x180.png 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/vehicle-speed-sensor-768x461.png 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/vehicle-speed-sensor-150x90.png 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/vehicle-speed-sensor.png 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The PCM will register a P0297 code if it receives a signal from the VSS indicating that the vehicle speed has exceeded the maximum limit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The PCM monitors vehicle speed via the VSS, which uses a toothed ring called a reluctor to complete its input circuit to the PCM. The reluctor spins with the transmission output shaft, causing the magnetic field of the VSS to continually change from strong to weak. This creates an alternating current that increases in frequency and amplitude as vehicle speed goes up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The PCM will register a P0297 code if it receives a signal from the VSS indicating that the vehicle speed has exceeded the maximum limit.
