Monitor Description

Automatic Transaxle Models:

The ECM assumes that the vehicle is being driven, when the indicated engine speed is more than 2,300 rpm and 30 seconds have elapsed since the Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch was turned OFF. If there is no signal from the vehicle speed sensor, despite these conditions being met, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the sensor. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC.

Manual Transaxle Models:

The ECM assumes that the vehicle is being driven, while the vehicle speed sensor signal is being transmitted by the combination meter. If there is no signal from the No. 1 vehicle speed sensor despite this condition being met, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the sensor. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC.
