Description
Product Overview
The Nissan Sentra Acceleration Sensor OEM Replacement with Bracket is engineered to meet the exacting standards of the original equipment manufacturer. Crafted from high‑grade, heat‑resistant polymer and precision‑machined metal components, this sensor delivers consistent performance across a wide range of driving conditions. It carries the OEM part numbers 28438‑5UD0A, 28438‑5UD0A, and 28438 5UD0A, ensuring a perfect fit for 2017, 2018, and 2019 model years of the Nissan Sentra, including the S, SL, SR, SR Turbo, and SV trims equipped with 1.6L and 1.8L L4‑Gas engines. The sensor weighs just 10.6 ounces and measures 5.12 × 3.54 × 3.35 inches, making it compact enough to fit within the vehicle’s center interior without requiring any modifications. The included mounting bracket simplifies installation, providing a secure attachment point that aligns precisely with the factory‑designed mounting holes. This design eliminates the need for additional adapters or custom fabrication, reducing installation time and potential error. The sensor’s internal accelerometer is calibrated to detect subtle changes in vehicle motion, translating them into accurate signals for the engine control unit (ECU). This accuracy helps maintain optimal fuel efficiency, smooth acceleration, and reliable engine performance. The product’s durability is reinforced by a sealed housing that protects against moisture, dust, and vibration, extending the service life even in harsh climates. Whether you are replacing a failed sensor or performing preventative maintenance, this OEM‑grade part restores the vehicle’s original handling characteristics and ensures that the onboard diagnostics system can accurately monitor engine dynamics.

Usage
This acceleration sensor is intended for professional mechanics, certified service technicians, and knowledgeable DIY enthusiasts who are comfortable working on vehicle electrical systems. Installation typically involves disconnecting the battery, removing the old sensor, and securing the new unit with the supplied bracket. The sensor is positioned in the vehicle’s center interior, a location that provides optimal exposure to the vehicle’s motion while remaining protected from direct road debris. It is compatible with standard diagnostic tools and can be calibrated using Nissan’s factory service software, allowing technicians to verify proper operation after installation. The sensor is ideal for use in everyday driving scenarios, including city commuting, highway cruising, and performance driving, where precise acceleration data contributes to smoother gear shifts and better throttle response. It also supports advanced driver‑assistance systems (ADAS) that rely on accurate motion detection for functions such as traction control and stability control. For owners of Nissan Sentra models that experience rough idling, delayed acceleration, or erratic engine behavior, replacing the acceleration sensor with this OEM part can resolve those issues and restore confidence in the vehicle’s performance. The lightweight construction minimizes added mass, preserving the vehicle’s original weight distribution and handling dynamics. When paired with regular maintenance practices, this sensor helps maintain the Sentra’s reputation for reliability and fuel efficiency.
