DTC P0500 Vehicle Speed Sensor Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The vehicle speed sensor outputs a 4 − pulse signal for every revolution of the rotor shaft, which is rotated
by the transmission output shaft via the driven gear. After this signal is converted into a more precise rectan-
gular wavefrom by the waveform shaping circuit inside the combination meter, it is then transmitted to the
ECM. The ECM determines the vehicle speed based on the frequency of thes\
e pulse signals.
