Background
lThe speed sensor serves as a PCM input switching voltage between 0 and 5volts.lOnce the vehicle is in motion and the throttle is open, information from the sensor is
sampled every 11 milliseconds and compared to a min imum threshold equal to 1 mph.
lIf the sensors output voltage indicates a speed higher than this threshold, the sensor
is considered to be operating normally.
lFailure of the sensor would be quite noticeable bec ause the speedometer would fail tooperate.Diagnostic features that depend on the speed sensor may never execute if this component
fails.
