VSS CIRCUIT PIN IDENTIFICATION

Circuit 4EAT Pin Wire Color
GND 1J BLK
VSS 1P GRN/RED

1)  Install 4EAT Tester. Leave 4EAT module disconnected. Disconnect speedometer cable at transaxle. Measure resistance between BOB VSS and GND test pins. Rotate speedometer cable. If resistance drops to less than 5 ohms 4 times for each revolution of speedometer cable, VSS is okay. Return to QUICK TESTS if sent here from there; otherwise, replace 4EAT module. If resistance does not drop as specified, go to next step.

2)  Unplug VSS connector at instrument cluster. Measure resistance between VSS and GND terminals on instrument cluster. Rotate speedometer cable. If resistance drops to less than 5 ohms 4 times for each revolution of speedometer cable, repair VSS signal wire to 4EAT. If resistance does not drop as specified, replace speedometer assembly.
