• The PCM monitors the vehicle speed from the ABS HU/CM or DSC HU/CM. If the PCM does not receive the input vehicle speed signal, the PCM determines that there is a VSS circuit problem.
Diagnostic support note
• This is a continuous monitor (CCM).
• The MIL illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition in two consecutive drive cycles or in one drive cycle while the DTC for the same malfunction has been stored in the PCM.
• PENDING CODE is available if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during the first drive cycle.
• FREEZE FRAME DATA is available.
• The DTC is stored in the PCM memory.

POSSIBLE CAUSE | • VSS circuit malfunction • PCM malfunction
