Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)

See PIN VOLTAGE CHARTS article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE section.

  1. Connect positive lead of voltmeter to Green/Red wire of combination meter. Connect negative lead of voltmeter to ground. Raise and support rear wheels. Start engine. Engage Drive and rotate rear wheels. Voltmeter should show 3-4 volts. If not, stop engine.
  2. Disconnect connector from combination meter. Measure resistance across Blue/White and Blue/Yellow wires (terminals 1K and 1L). Resistance should be 290 ohms. If resistance is not 290 ohms, check wiring to transmission. If wiring is okay, check resistance of VSS at transmission.
  3. If resistance of VSS is not 290 ohms, replace VSS. If resistance of VSS is 290 ohms, replace VSS buffer in instrument cluster.
