Vehicle Speed Sensor: Description and Operation

With the ignition switch in ON (II) or START (III), battery voltage is supplied through fuse 24 and the BLK/YEL wire to the Vehicle Speed Sensor 
(VSS). The sensor is grounded by the BLK wire to G101. The speedometer and other control units in the circuit supply about 5 volts to the ORN wire.
The VSS intermittently grounds the ORN wire which generates a pulsed signal in it. The number of pulses per minute increases/decreases with the
speed of the car.
