- 4. The vehicle speed detector in the PCM and the VSS are matched in such a way that an open or a short to ground in the VSS low signal circuit will not usually cause a loss of speed signal or a DTC P0500 to set.
- 7. This step isolates the short between the VSS and the wiring.
- 9. The DMM will detect AC voltage if the VSS high signal circuit is shorted to ground.
