Vehicle Speed Sensor (With Wheel Speed Sensors)
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2002 Lexus SC 430, 2002 Lexus RX 300, 2002 Lexus LX 470, 2002 Lexus LS 430, and 2002 Lexus IS 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
On some models, wheel speed sensors on each wheel deliver an input signal to Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Electronic Control Unit (ECU). ABS ECU converts input signals from wheel speed sensors to a 4-pulse input signal to instrument cluster. Instrument cluster converts 4-pulse input signal to a rectangular waveform and then sends input signal to Engine Control Module (ECM). ECM determines vehicle speed by using input signal. ECM uses input signal for controlling fuel injection system and electronic control of automatic transmission/transaxle.
