Duty Cycle > 90% or < 10%
Dual PWM TRS  : each signal tested for:
Frequency > 175 Hz or < 100 Hz (HF32); > 300 Hz or < 200 Hz (DPS6)

Sum of both inputs = 100% +/- 4%

Most vehicle applications no longer have a standalone vehicle speed sensor input. The PCM sometimes obtains vehicle speed information from another module on the vehicle, i.e. ABS module. In most cases, however, vehicle speed is calculated in the PCM by using the transmission output shaft speed sensor signal and applying a conversion factor for axle ratio and tire programmed into the Vehicle ID block. A Vehicle Speed Output pin on the PCM provides the rest of the vehicle with the standard 8, 000 pulses/mile signal.

NOTE:

If the Vehicle ID block has not been programmed or has been programmed with an out-of-range (uncertified) tire/axle ratio, a P1639 DTC will be stored and the MIL will be illuminated immediately.

TYPICAL TFT MALFUNCTION THRESHOLDS

Opens/shorts:  TFT voltage <0.05 or > 4.6 volts for 5 - 12 seconds
TFT Stuck low/high, i.e. TFT stuck at high temperature or stuck at low temperature): 
Stores a fault code if TFT stabilizes (stops increasing if temperature < 70 deg F, stops decreasing if temperature > 225 deg F) before reaching the temperature region where all MIL tests are enabled (70 to 225 deg F). If TFT remains constant (+/- 2 deg F) for approximately 2.5 minutes of vehicle driving outside the 70 to 225 deg F zone a P0711 fault code will be stored. Old logic used to indicate a "pass" for a single delta, and not test until the normal operating region (70-225 deg F) was reached.
