The Vehicle Speed Signal or VSS measures Transmission / Transaxle output or Wheel Speed from the ABS. The signal is broadcasted over the CAN Bus. The Engine Control Module -J623- uses this information to modify engine functions such as ignition timing, AF ratio, transmission shift points, and to initiate diagnostic routines.
