Does exactly what it implies, senses how fast you are going, its main function is running the speedo, but I'ts fairly likely that the ECM uses the data for other things as well.

Hi, sorry yeah should have been more specific, im wondering what the ecm uses it for if anything ? i know on auto cars it enables/disables the mechanical lockup. obviously im trying to see if that caused my below 2K stutter or not
thanks
