Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the VSS.
- Connect a test lamp between the ignition voltage circuit and ground circuit of the VSS.
- Ignition ON, test for battery voltage between the ignition voltage circuit and ground.
- If less than B+, repair the ignition voltage circuit for a short to ground, or an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, test for less than 0.1 volt between the VSS ground circuit and ground.
- If greater than 0.1 volt repair the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, test for 9-11 volts between the signal circuit of the VSS and ground.
- If less than 9 volts test the VSS signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
- If greater than 11 volts test the VSS signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
- If the voltage is within the specified range replace the VSS.
IMPORTANT:
The test lamp is used to load the circuit and may not illuminate.
