Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) Test

  1. If speedometer operates, VSS is okay. If speedometer does not operate, disconnect electrical connector from VSS. Remove VSS. Connect battery positive lead to terminal No. 1 and negative lead to terminal No. 2. See Fig 1.
  2. While rotating gear, measure voltage between terminals No. 2 (negative lead) and No. 3 (positive lead). Replace VSS if voltage does not alternate between zero and 12 volts, 4 times per revolution.
