2000 Chevrolet C Tahoe 2WD V8-4.8L VIN VSECTION Description and Operation
Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS):
The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is a pulse counter type input that informs the PCM how fast the vehicle is traveling. The VSS system uses an inductive sensor, mounted in the tail housing of the transmission, and a toothed reluctor wheel on the tail shaft. The teeth of the reluctor wheel alternately interfere with the magnetic field of the sensor creating an induced voltage pulse as the reluctor rotates.
The VSS produces an AC voltage signal that increases with vehicle speed. The PCM processes this signal and sends it to the following components:
^ The instrument panel The body control module
^ The radio
^ The cruise control module
