Diagnostic Aids

An intermittent problem may be caused by a poor connection, rubbed-through wire insulation, or a wire that is broken inside the insulation.

VSS signal circuit should be thoroughly checked for the following conditions:

• Backed-out terminals
• Improper mating
• Broken locks
• Improperly formed
• Damaged terminals
• Poor terminal-to-wire connection
• Physical damage to the wiring harness

Ensure the VSS is correctly tightened with proper torque to the transmission housing. Refer to "INTERMITTENTS :".
