Test TC-35B - No Vehicle Speed Sensor Signal

NOTE: Perform TEST TC-35A  before proceeding.
NOTE: For connector terminal identification, refer to CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION . For wiring diagram, see WIRING DIAGRAMS article in this section.
  1. Turn ignition off. Using scan tool in ohmmeter mode, check resistance of Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) connector, ground circuit (Black/Light Blue wire). If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open ground circuit and perform TEST VER-2A. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step.
  2. Disconnect Powertrain Control Module (PCM) connectors. Inspect connectors and terminals for damage. Repair connectors and terminals as necessary and perform TEST VER-2A. If connectors and terminals are okay, go to next step.
  3. Using an external ohmmeter, check resistance of signal circuit (White/Orange wire) between VSS connector and PCM White connector. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair open signal circuit and perform TEST VER-2A . If resistance is 5 ohms or more, replace PCM and perform TEST VER-2A.
