Don't have any idea what you're asking. The speed sensor is a common cause of an inoperative speedometer and the odometer not advancing.

1988 models still used a speedometer cable connected to the speed sensor. 1989 and newer models use just the sensor, no cable. If your car is a mid-year model with no cable, change the sensor. If it has a cable, check the end of the cable to see if the square end is rounded off.
