Monitor Description

Automatic Transaxle Models: 

If there is no speed signal from the combination meter assembly even though the ECM determines that the vehicle is being driven, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the speed signal circuit. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.

Manual Transaxle Models: 

The ECM assumes that the vehicle is being driven when the idle fuel-cut operation* is being executed. If there is no signal from the vehicle speed sensor, despite these conditions being met, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the speed signal circuit. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.

*: Idle fuel-cut is executed when the throttle valve is fully closed and engine speed is over 2500 rpm.
