V8 I6
Extended Description:
The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is located on the transmission and sends an AC signal to the ECM. The VSS sensor
contains a permanent magnet which creates a magnetic field. The AC signal is created when the 16-tooth transmission
speedometer gear rotates breaking the magnetic field created by the sensor. The ECM processes the AC signal and transmits
vehicle speed data on the ATA Data link and utilizes it for various engine and vehicle control strategies.
On a manual transmission, the VSS sensor is mounted at the rear of the transmission. With an Allison AT/MT transmission,
the VSS sensor is installed in the lower right side of the transmission.
