Check the VSS Voltage:
1. Raise the vehicle2. Shift the transmission to lEposrtlon.3. Disconnect the A (26P) and B(22P) connectors from the
TCM.4. Turn the ignition switch ON {ll).
5. Rotate the front wheel and
check for the voltage between
the 85 and 413 or A26 termi-
nals. Block the other wheel so

Check for oP€n in the wire
between the 85 terminal and the
