Vehicle Speed Sensor: Testing and Inspection

On-Vehicle Inspection
1. Hoist vehicle.
2. Release parking brake lever, set transmission in neutral and transfer in "2H".
3. Remove ECM (PCM) cover.




4. Connector voltmeter between VSS terminal C51-3-1 of ECM (PCM) connector and body ground.
5. Turn ignition switch ON and turn rear right tire slowly with rear left tire locked.

Voltmeter should indicate deflection between 0 - 1 V and 8 - 14 V a few times while tire is turned one revolution. If check result is not satisfactory, proceed to "DTC P0500: Vehicle Speed Sensor Malfunction".
