In the 2015 Nissan Sentra, the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) is positioned between the transmission housing and the radiator on the driver's side within the engine compartment. To access it, you will have to remove the plastic splash shield located at the bottom of the engine. The VSS maintains continuous communication with the car's engine control unit and plays a crucial role in ensuring the accuracy of various features such as the speedometer, cruise control, traction control, and antilock brakes. A common indicator of a failing VSS is malfunctioning cruise control, and you may also encounter challenges with shifting and longer intervals between shifts. Typically, the check engine light will illuminate as well. The approximate cost to replace this sensor in the 2015 Sentra ranges from $280 to $300, with labor accounting for around $70 to $90 of the total cost.
