Vehicle speed signal, checking
 
     
Notes:  
     
The vehicle speed signal is generated by the 
Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) -G68- (at 
transmission) and processed in the instrument 
cluster. 
     The processed signal enters at terminal 54 of 
the ECM and is used for idle stabilization and 
tip-in shock reduction during shifting. 
     
Test requirement:  
     Function and display of speedometer OK.

A/C system signal, checking
 
      The A/C system signal notifies the Engine 
Control Module (ECM), that the A/C system 
requires a higher idle speed to achieve the 
desired interior temperature (regardless of 
whether heating or cooling is required).  
      The increase in idle speed based on presence of 
the A/C system signal is control module 
dependent and occurs only in vehicles with All 
Wheel Drive (AWD) and manual transmission.  
     
Test sequence
