Vehicle Speed Sensor: Description and Operation

DESCRIPTION

The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is a permanent magnet generator in the transaxle which sends an AC signal to the Powertrain Control Module 
(PCM), which the PCM converts to miles per hour. This sensor mainly controls the operation of the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) system.
There are several types of vehicle speed sensors.
