Vehicle Speed Sensor

Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) consists of a reed switch built into speedometer head. ECM supplies VSS with a 5-volt reference signal. As speedometer cable rotates, the reed switch closes the circuit to ground 4 times per revolution. As vehicle speed increases, frequency of ground pulses increase. This pulse is sent to ECM and interpreted as vehicle speed.
