DTC Description: Description: Function

The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) generates a waveform with a frequency according to the speed of the vehicle. The signal generated by VSS informs the ECM not only the vehicle speed is low or high but also the vehicle stops or not. The ECM uses this signal to control fuel injection, ignition timing, transmission/transaxle shift scheduling and torque converter clutch scheduling.
