The MIL has been reDorted on.DTC P0500 or P0501 is stored.
Problem verification:1- Test drive the vehicle.2. Check the vehicle speed withthe scan tool.
Intermittent tailure, system is OKat this time. Check tor Door con-nections or loose wires at C117{VSSland ECM/PCM.
ls the correct speed indicated?
Check for an open in the ECM/PCM:1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.2. Elock the rear wheels and setthe parking brake.3. Jack up the front of the vehicleand support it with safetystands.4. Turn the ignition switch ON (ll).
5. Block the right tront wheel andslowly rotate the left front
6, Measure voltage between theECM/PCM connector termi-nals C18 and A9.
Subslitute a known-good ECM/PCM and recheck. lf symptom/indic.tion goes away, replace theorisinal ECM/PCM.
Does the voltage pulse 0 Vand 5 V?
Check tor a short in ihe ECM/PCM:1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.2. Disco n n ect the ECM/PCMconnector C (31P).
3. Turn the ignition switch ON {ll).4. Block the right front wheeland slowly rotate the left front
5. Measure voltage between theECM/PCM connector terminalsC18 and A9.
Substitute a known-good ECM/PCM and recheck. lI symptom/indication goes away. replacethe original ECM/PCM.
Does the voltage pulse 0 Vand s V?
- Repair short in the wirebetwGen ECM/PCM {C18} endvss, TcM.- Repair open in the wirebetween ECM/PCM {Cl8} andvss.- lf wire is OK, test the VSSlsee section 23).
