Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)

The VSS generates 8 pulses per axle shaft revolution. SBEC interprets speed sensor input along with TPS closed throttle input.

This input enables SBEC to determine if a closed throttle deceleration or normal throttle idle (vehicle stopped) condition exists. During deceleration, SBEC controls Automatic Idle Speed (AIS) motor or Idle Speed Control (ISC) actuator to maintain a desired manifold pressure. During idle (vehicle stopped), SBEC controls AIS motor or ISC actuator to maintain a desired idle speed. SBEC also uses VSS signal to maintain set speed during cruise control operation.
