Test the vss:1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.2. Connect the other test harness connector to the VSS.3. Raise the front ot the vehicle,and support it with safetystands,4. Put the vehicle in neutral with
the ignition switch ON (ll).
5. Slowly rotate one wheel withthe other wheel blocked.
Does voltage pulse from 0 toapprox.5 V or more ?
Speedometer Tosii'1. Disconnect the 16P connector"B" from the gauge assem-blv.2. Touch a probe to the BLUMHTwire, and connect it to bodyground through a voltmeter.
3. Slowly rotate one wheel with
the other wheel blocked.

Interlock System
Control Unit Input Test
1. Disconnect the 8P connector from the interlock con-trol unit.
2. Inspect the connector and socket terminals to besure they are all making good contact.. lf the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repairthem as necessary, and recheck the system.. lf the terminals look OK, make the followinginput tests at the connector.- lf a test indicates a problem, find and correctthe cause, then recheck the system.- lf all the input tests prove OK, substitute aknown-good control unit, and recheck the sys-tem. lf the check is OK, the control unit mustbe faulty; replace it.
NOTE: lf the shift lock solenoid clicks when theignition switch is turned ON {ll) and you step on thebrake pedal (with the shift lever in E), the shift locksystem is electronically normal; if the shift leve.cannot be shifted from E], test the Aff gear position
switch, park pin switch, and see section 14.
