Vehicle Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)

PURPOSE

Provides the ECM with vehicle speed information.

LOCATION

Integral part of the speedometer assembly

OPERATION

The ECM applies and monitors a 12V signal to the sensor.  When the drive wheels are turning, the sensor alternately grounds the circuit, creating a
pulsing action.  The ECM calculates vehicle speed based on the time between pulses.
