Vehicle Speed Signal (VSS), checking


Notes:

The vehicle speed signal is generated by the
Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) -G68 (on the
transmission) and is processed in the
instrument cluster.
The processed signal goes to terminal 54 on
the engine control module and is used for Idle
Air Control (IAC) and for the damping of load
change jolts when changing gear.

- Start engine.

information system VAS 5051 or VAG1551 scan

Checking bus system
The principle of the test is independent of the
number of control modules/systems connected to
the CAN-bus.
The DTC table suggested checking the data
exchange between the Engine Control Module
(ECM) and CAN capable control modules.

- Start engine (if engine will not start, switch
ignition on).

- Connect VAS5051 tester or VAG1551 scan tool
and select the control module for engine
electronics using "address word" 01 Page 01

CAN capable control modules connected to the Engine Control Module
(ECM) are indicated:

No indication (display field empty): Control module not CAN-

Example:
Note:
Display group 125 indicates all systems that communicate with the Engine
Control Module (ECM) via the CAN-bus. (In this example, the ABS control
module and the instrument cluster). If these systems are not installed, the
display fields in display group 125 that are intended for them will be
empty. Display field 1 will indicate "Transmission 1" and display field 4 will
indicate "A/C 1" if these systems are communicated with the Engine
Control Module (ECM) via the CAN-bus.
