The VSS is one part of a system of sensors that helps keep you safe (traction control, ABS, cruise control). Instead of this direct connection, a modern vehicle uses the vehicle speed sensor and relays that information to the speedometer. There was a physical/mechanical connection between the drivetrain and the speedometer. Vehicles used to use a cable that would usually run from the tail shaft of the transmission to the speedometer. The VSS is usually not very expensive, and they are not that difficult to replace.
If your Nissan Maxima’s speedometer is not working, it’s usually going to be caused by an issue with the VSS (vehicle speed sensor), or a bad ECU. You don’t really realize how much you look at the thing until it’s just always sitting at 0 MPH while driving down the road. One of the most inconvenient things that can happen to your Maxima is when the speedometer stops working.
