Diagnostic Aids
Code 24 will set when no vehicle speed is detected at vehicle start off. Code 72 will set when VSS signal is present and is lost. Check all connections, especially those at transmission pass-through connector. If code is intermittent, see INTERMITTENTS in appropriate TESTS W/O CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE section. While Code 24 is set, scan tester will display an RPM derived from input speed. If input speed sensor is not operational at start-up, this can cause VSS to read zero.
