Test TC-7B - No Vehicle Speed Sensor Signal
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Dodge Ram Wagon, 1995 Dodge Ram Van, 1995 Dodge Pickup, 1995 Dodge Dakota, and 1995 Dodge Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
For circuit and connector terminal identification, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION . For wiring diagram, see WIRING DIAGRAMS section at the end of this article.
- Turn ignition off. Using scan tool in ohmmeter mode, check resistance of VSS connector, sensor ground circuit (Black/Light Blue wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open Black/Light Blue wire. Perform TEST VER-2. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step.
- Ensure ignition is off. Disconnect Powertrain Control Module (PCM) connector. Inspect PCM connector for damaged or pushed out terminals. Repair as necessary. Perform TEST VER-2. If connector is okay, go to next step.
- Using an external ohmmeter, check resistance of VSS signal circuit (White/Orange) wire between VSS connector and PCM connector terminal No. 47. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open White/Orange wire. Perform TEST VER-2.
- If resistance is less than 5 ohms, check resistance of PCM connector terminal No. 47 (White/Orange wire) using scan tool in ohmmeter mode. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, replace PCM. Perform TEST VER-2. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair short to ground in White/Orange wire. Perform TEST VER-2.
