Code 24 - VSS Circuit: Notes
NOTE:
Test numbers refer to test numbers on diagnostic chart.
- Code No. 24 will be set when speed sensor indicates less than 5 MPH, engine speed is between 1500-4400 RPM, coolant temperature is greater than 185°F (85°C), MAP is less than 7 psi (.5 kg/cm2 ) and conditions exist for at least 3 seconds. This test uses "Scan" tester to verify VSS operation.
- This checks for the presence of ECM supplied 12-volt signal, which is monitored by ECM for pulses, indicating VSS operation.
- Circuit No. 439 is ignition feed that supplies operating power to VSS. If this circuit is open, circuit No. 437 will remain at 12 volts at all times.
- Circuit No. 450 supplies ground path for VSS operation. If circuit No. 450 is open, VSS cannot pulse circuit No. 437 to ground.
