Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
- Lift and support drive wheels of vehicle. Remove instrument cluster and disconnect connector I-9. Connect a resistance of 1.3 to 5 ohms (1.4 watts or more) between Blue/Yellow wire of connector I-9 terminal No. 15 (terminal No. 26 on "S" models) and instrument cluster connector I-10 terminal No. 5 (Light Green/White wire). See Figure .
- Install a speedometer tester. Start vehicle and bring speed up to 37 MPH. Check waveform from VSS with oscilloscope. Normal waveforms are between approximately 12 volts to 2 volts with a cycle of 23.6 milliseconds. If waveforms are normal, replace instrument cluster. See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
- If waveforms are not normal, check for open/shorted wires or poor connections between VSS and instrument cluster and repair as necessary. See WIRING DIAGRAMS . If all circuits and connectors are okay, replace VSS. See VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR (VSS) under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
