P1574 ASCD VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR
DescriptionINFOID:0000000006288349
The ECM receives two vehicle speed signals by the CAN
communication line. One is sent from “combination
meter”, and the other is from TCM (Transmission cont rol module). The ECM uses these signals for ASCD con-
trol. Refer to EC-48, "
AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROL DEVICE (ASCD) : System Description" for ASCD func-
tions.
