    What Does P0297 Mean?

    OBD-II Code Vehicle speed sensor failure is defined as a Vehicle Overspeed Condition

    The Vehicle Speed Sensor tells the engine control module (PCM) how fast the vehicle is going. If the vehicle is driven over a certain speed, it will set code P0297.The PCM may put the vehicle into "limp home mode" to limit the speed that the vehicle can be driven. Repeated setting of this code may void your warranty.

    What are the common causes of P0297 ?
    • An air leak forward of the DPF will change the sensor readings resulting in the code
    • Rusty exhaust systems, cracked exhaust manifolds or damaged or missing gaskets or donuts will cause air leaks.
    • Low fuel pressure caused by a clogged filter, failing fuel pump, failed fuel pressure regulator or clogged or leaking injectors.

    How do you troubleshoot P0297 ?

    The most common repair here is to clear the code and explain to the driver not to exceed speed limitations. However, replacing the speed sensor may be necessary, or there could be shorts or opens within the sensor’s circuit that must be repaired.
