Vehicle Speed Sensor: Description and Operation

DESCRIPTION
The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is a permanent magnet generator in the transaxle which sends an AC voltage signal to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), which the PCM converts to miles per hour. This sensor manily controls the operation of the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) system.
