The scan tool indicates Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0500r A low voltage problem in the Vehicle Speed
Sensor (VSS) circuit.
Intermittent failure, system is OKat this time. Check for ooor con-neciions or loose wires at C112IVSSI and ECM.

The MIL has been reported on.DTC P0500 is stored.
Probleft veritication:1. Test drive the car.2. Check the vehicle speed withthe scan tool,
ls the correct speed indicated?
Check lor an open in the ECM:1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.2. Block the rear wheels and setthe parking brake.3. Jack up the front of the car andsuppon it with safety stands.4. Turn the ignition switch ON (ll).
5. Block the right front wheeland slowly rotate the left front
6. Measure voltage betweenECM connector terminals C18and A9.
Substitute a known-good ECMand recheck. H symptom/indica-tion goes away, replace tho origi-nalECM.
Does the voltage pulse 0 Vand 5 V or battery voltage?
Check lor a shori in th€ ECM:1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.2. Disconnect the ECM connector C (31P).
3. Turn the ignition switch ON (lli.4. Block the right front wheeland slowly rotate the left front
5. Measure voltage between ECMconnector lerminals C18 andA9.
Substitute a known-good ECMand lecheck. lf symptom/indica-tion goos away. rsplaco the origi-nalECM.
Does the vohage pulse 0 Vand 5 V or battery voltage?
Repair short in the wireb€tween ECM {C18} end VSS,TCM, or cruise control unit.Repeir open in the wirebetween ECM (C18) aod VSS.ff wire is OK, replace the VSS.
