9.13 DTC P0500, P0502 or P0503 – Vehicle
Speed Sensor Signal Malfunction
DTC Descriptors
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC’s:
• DTC P0500 – Vehicle speed sensor open circuit, short circuit to battery voltage, short circuit to ground, or
undefined error
• DTC P0502 – Vehicle speed sensor sensor low voltage
• DTC P0503 – Vehicle speed sensor intermittant fault
Circuit Description
The PIM applies the ground to the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) low reference circuit.
The VSS in conjunction with the 40X reluctor wheel generates an AC signal voltage. The amplitude and frequency of the
signal generated is proportional to the vehicle speed. The PIM uses this signal from the VSS signal circuit to determine
the vehicle speed.
A VSS DTC sets if the PIM detects a fault condition in the VSS signal circuit.
Conditions for Running the DTC
DTC P0500
Runs continuously once the following condition is met:
• The ignition is on and the vehicle is stationary.
DTC P0502
Runs continuously once the following condition is met:
• The first time the ignition is on and the vehicle starts to move from the stationary position.
DTC P0503
Runs continuously once the following condition is met:
• The ignition is on and the vehicle is mobile.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DTC P0500
W hen the PIM reads back the 15 consecutive readings within 0.5 seconds.
DTC P0502
If the reading is >9.1 Km/Hr the DTC will be set.
DTC P0503
The DTC will set when the sensor detects an occurance of 15 times within 0.5 seconds.
Conditions for Clearing DTC
The DTC’s will clear on the next ignition cycle.
Additional Information
• Refer to 7B1_Manual Transmission.

• For an intermittent fault condition, refer to Intermittent Fault Conditions in this Section.
• The VSS in conjunction with the 40X reluctor wheel generates an AC signal voltage. The amplitude and frequency
of the signal generated is proportional to the vehicle speed. The PIM uses this signal from the VSS signal circuit to
determine the vehicle speed.
• Since fault condition in a wiring connector may trigger DTCs, always test the connectors related to this diagnostic
procedure for shorted terminals or poor wiring connection before replacing any component. Refer to 8A Electrical -
Body and Chassis for information on electrical fault diagnosis.
• To assist diagnosis, refer to 6 W iring Diagram and Connector Chart in this Section, for the system wiring diagram
and connector charts.
Test Description
The following numbers refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic table:
3 The PIM supplies 2.5 V to signal circuit of the VSS circuit to reduce the Electro Magnetic interference (EMI). If the voltage is not within range, this indicates there is an PIM fault or a PIM circuit fault condition.
4 The PIM supplies 2.5 V to low reference circuit of the VSS circuit to reduce the Electro Magnetic interference (EMI). If the voltage is not within range, this indicates there is a PIM fault or a PIM circuit fault condition.
DTC P0335 to P0338 Diagnostic Table
Step Action Yes No
1
Has the Diagnostic System Check been performed?
Go to Step 2 Refer to additional
information
2 1 Switch off the ignition for 30 seconds.
2 Start the engine.
3 Using Tech 2, select the DTC display function.
Does DTC P0500, P0502, P0503 fail this ignition cycle? Go to Step 3 Refer to
Additional
Information in this DTC
3 1 Disconnect the VSS connector.
2 Switch on the ignition with the engine not running.
3 Using a digital multimeter, measure the voltage between the signal circuit of the sensor connector and a good ground.
Does the multimeter display 2 – 3 V? Go to Step 4 Go to Step 7
4 Using a digital multimeter, measure the voltage between the VSS low
reference circuit and a good ground.
Does the multimeter display 2 – 3 V? Go to Step 5 Go to Step 7
5 Using a digital multimeter, measure the resistance between the
ground shield circuit of the VSS at the PIM connector and the PIM
housing.
Does the multimeter display approximately 5 Ω? Go to Step 6 Go to Step 7
6
Perform the following VSS inspection:
• Inspect the sensor wiring harness for conditions that may induce
electromagnetic interference. Refer to Intermittent Fault
Conditions in this Section.
• Inspect the sensor for incorrect sensor installation or incorrect
attaching bolt torque value. Refer to 7B1_Manual Transmission.
W as any fault found and rectified? Go to Step 11 Go to Step 9
