Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1994 Mercury Sable, 1994 Mercury Cougar, 1994 Lincoln Continental, 1994 Ford Thunderbird, and 1994 Ford Taurus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

VSS is a variable reluctance sensor that generates a waveform with a frequency that is proportional to vehicle speed. When vehicle is moving slowly, sensor produces a low frequency signal. As vehicle speed increases, sensor produces a higher frequency signal. The PCM uses this signal to control fuel injection, ignition timing and transmission/transaxle shift points.
