Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
The engine coolant temperature sensor is used to detect the engine
coolant temperature. The sensor modi®es a voltage signal from the
ECM. The modi®ed signal returns to the ECM as the engine cool-
ant temperature input. The sensor uses a thermistor which is sen-
sitive to the change in temperature. The electrical resistance of the
thermistor decreases as temperature increases.

Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
The vehicle speed sensor is installed in the transaxle. It contains a
pulse generator which provides a vehicle speed signal to the
speedometer. The speedometer then sends a signal to the ECM.

OVERALL FUNCTION CHECK
Use this procedure to check the overall function of the vehicle
speed sensor circuit. During this check, a DTC might not be con-
®rmed.
1) Jack up drive wheels.
2) Start engine.
3) Read vehicle speed sensor signal in ``DATA MONITOR''
mode with CONSULT.
The vehicle speed on CONSULT should be able to
exceed 10 km/h (6 MPH) when rotating wheels with suit-
able gear position.

1) Jack up drive wheels.
2) Start engine.
3) Rotate drive wheel by hand.
4) Check voltage between ECM terminal
V26and ground
with tester.
Voltage should vary between 0V - battery voltage.

ernor. It senses the position of control sleeve (rotor angle) while the
control sleeve is being driven by the electric governor, and feeds it
back to the ECM.
