Circuit Description

The instrument panel cluster (IPC) receives the vehicle speed information from the engine control module (ECM)/powertrain control module (PCM) through the vehicle speed signal circuit. The ECM/PCM converts the data from the vehicle speed sensor to a 4000 pulses/mile signal. The ECM/PCM also sends a class 2 message to the IPC indicating the vehicle speed. If the IPC determines there is a loss of the vehicle speed signal from the ECM/PCM due to a vehicle speed signal circuit malfunction, a DTC sets.
