Vehicle Speed Sensor: Description and Operation

Vehicle Speed Sensor Circuit

OPERATION 

The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is supplied with 5 volts from the Engine Control Module (ECM). The speed sensor turns on and off (opening
and closing the circuit) in proportion to how fast it is turning. The ECM  interprets this signal as the vehicle speed.

-

Pulses are produced in accordance with the vehicle speed, and vehicle-speed signals are input to systems (the MFI system, etc.) that regulate
according to the vehicle speed.
