Vehicle Speed Sensor: Prius

Wheel speed sensors on each wheel deliver an input signal to brake Electronic Control Unit (ECU) for the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS). Brake ECU converts input signals from wheel speed sensors to a 4-pulse input signal to the instrument cluster. Instrument cluster then converts 4-pulse input signal to a rectangular waveform and then sends vehicle speed signal to Engine Control Module (ECM). If problem exists with vehicle speed signal, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) may be stored in Engine Control Module (ECM). See TESTING PROCEDURE under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM in appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article for retrieving of DTCs.
