Monitor Description

Automatic Transaxle Models:

The ECM assumes that the vehicle is being driven when the indicated engine speed is more than 2,300 rpm and 30 seconds have elapsed since the Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch was turned OFF. If there is no signal from vehicle speed sensor, despite these conditions being met, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the sensor. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC.

Manual Transaxle Models:

The ECM assumes that the vehicle is being driven while the vehicle speed sensor signal is being transmitted by the combination meter. If there is no signal from the vehicle speed sensor despite this condition being met, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the sensor. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC.
