Vehicle Speed Sensor

Vehicle speed sensor is located on transmission/transaxle and contains a 3-wire connector. Connect voltmeter and battery voltage to vehicle speed sensor terminals. See Fig 1, Fig 2 and Fig 3.
While rotating vehicle speed sensor shaft, ensure voltage changes from zero to at least 11 volts. Voltage should change 4 times per revolution of the shaft. Replace vehicle speed sensor if voltage does not change as specified.
