Circuit Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 GMC Sierra, 2002 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2002 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2002 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The rear wheel steering control module receives a vehicle speed signal input from the powertrain control module (PCM) via the vehicle speed signal circuit and also receives vehicle speed data over the serial data class 2 circuit. Once vehicle speed has been detected, the rear wheel steering control module compares the two inputs for accuracy. The module calculates the vehicle speed from the PCM with a resolution of 0.80 km/h (0.5 mph) from 0-209 km/h (0-130 mph). The discrete VSS signal must be present for rear wheel steer operation. The class 2 information is only used for comparison calculations.
