Vehicle Speed Sensor: Description and Operation

Vehicle Speed Sensor Circuit

OPERATION 

The VSS uses a magnetic reed type switch. As the speedometer cable turns, the switch turns on and off (opening and closing the circuit). The
Engine Control Module (ECM) interprets this signal as the vehicle speed.
