VEHICLE SPEEDOMETER SENSOR (VSS) INSPECTION [ATX]

A3U051717401W01

Visual Inspection

1. Remove the VSS. (See 05–17–28 VEHICLE SPEEDOMETER SENSOR (VSS) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION 

[ATX].)

2. Make sure that the sensor is free of any metallic shavings or particles.

•

If any are found on the sensor, clean them off.

3. Install the VSS. (See 05–17–28 VEHICLE SPEEDOMETER SENSOR (VSS) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION 

[ATX].)

Wave profile Inspection

1. Remove the PCM. (See 01–40A–7 PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [ZM].) (See 01–40B–7 PCM REMOVAL/

INSTALLATION [FS].)

2. Connect WDS or equivalent to DLC-2 connector.
3. Connect the SST (104 Pin Breakout Box) to the 

PCM as shown.

4. Connect osilloscope test leads to the following 

PCM connector terminals.

•

(+) lead: PCM terminal 58

•

(-) lead: PCM terminal 103

5. Start the engine.
6. Monitor VSS PID.

7. Inspect wave profile.

•

PCM terminal: 58 (+)-103(-)

•

Oscilloscope setting: 1 V/DIV(Y), 2.5 ms/
DIV(X), DC range

•

Vehicle condition: drive the vehicle with 32 
km/h{20 mph}
— If wave profile or voltage are out of 

specifications, carry out the “Open Circuit 
Inspection” or “Short Circuit Inspection”

Power Supply Voltage Inspection

1. Disconnect the VSS connector.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
3. Measure voltage at VSS connector terminal B 

(wiring harness side).

Specification

4.5—5.5 V

•

If voltage is okay, go to “See 05–17–27 Open 
Circuit Inspection” and “Short Circuit 
Inspection”.

•

If voltage is wrong, repair wiring harness 
between VSS and PCM.

Open Circuit Inspection

1. Inspect the following circuit for open.

•

Power circuit (VSS connector terminal A to main relay terminal D)

•

Ground circuit (VSS connector terminal C to GND)

•

If an open circuit or short circuit is found, repair the malfunctioning wiring harness.

•

If there are no open or short circuits, perform the sensor rotor inspection. (See 05–17–28 Sensor Rotor 
Inspection.)

Short Circuit Inspection

1. Inspect the following circuit for short.

•

Power circuit (VSS connector terminal A to 
main relay terminal D)

•

If an open circuit or short circuit is found, 
repair the malfunctioning wiring harness.

•

If there are no open or short circuits, perform 
the sensor rotor inspection. (See 05–17–28 
Sensor Rotor Inspection.)

Sensor Rotor Inspection

1. Remove the VSS. (See 05–17–28 VEHICLE SPEEDOMETER SENSOR (VSS) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION 

[ATX].)

2. Shift the selector lever to N position.
3. Inspect sensor rotor surface via VSS installation hole while rotating the front tire manually.

(1) Is sensor rotor free of damage and cracks?
(2) Is sensor rotor free of any metallic shavings or particles?

•

If sensor rotor is okay, replace VSS.

•

If there is a problem, clean or replace the sensor rotor.
