Vehicle Speed Sensor: Description and Operation

The vehicle speed sensor is mounted in the instrument cluster and provides a pulsating voltage signal from which the ECM determines vehicle speed. As
vehicle speed increases, the frequency of the VSS voltage pulsations increases, allowing the ECM to determine optimum EGR and preventing TCC
engagement at low speeds.
