Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)

VSS consists of a reed switch built into speedometer head. ECM applies 5-volts to VSS. As speedometer cable rotates, the reed switch closes the circuit to ground 4 times per revolution. As vehicle speed increases, frequency of ground pulses increase. This pulse is sent to ECM and is used to calculate vehicle speed.
