Automatic

The transaxle control module (TCM) supplies the vehicle speed signal to the PCM based on the output shaft speed. The PCM sends a 5 volt signal to the TCM. The TCM switches this signal to a ground, and then opens the circuit at a rate of 8000 pulses per mile. When the PCM counts 8000 pulses, the PCM assumes the vehicle has traveled one mile.

The output speed sensor is located on the side of the transaxle. Locations

The speed and distance signals, along with a closed throttle signal from the TPS, determine if a closed throttle deceleration or normal idle condition (vehicle stopped) exists. Under deceleration conditions, the PCM adjusts the idle air control motor to maintain a desired MAP value. Under idle conditions, the PCM adjusts the idle air control motor to maintain a desired engine speed.
