Vehicle Speed Sensor (4Runner)

Wheel speed sensors on each wheel deliver an input signal to Vehicle Skid Control (VSC) Electronic Control Unit (ECU). VSC 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 input signal to Engine Control Module (ECM). ECM determines vehicle speed by using input signal. ECM may use input signal for controlling fuel injection system, electronically controlled automatic transmission and various other systems.
