Description
The PAI 650671 is an aftermarket turbo speed sensor for Detroit Diesel Series 60 12.7L and 14.0L engines fitted with the GTA4502V variable-geometry turbocharger. It senses turbocharger shaft rotation and feeds the signal back to the ECM for overspeed protection and boost control. Direct replacement for Detroit Diesel 23531531 and A23531531.
Signs You Need a New Turbo Speed Sensor
- Check engine light with fault code 64 (Turbo Overspeed)
- Erratic boost pressure or fluctuating manifold readings
- Engine hesitation, power loss, or poor throttle response
- Turbo not spooling consistently across the rev range
- Intermittent loss of boost-control authority on the VGT
