Default the signal goes to 54 of the ecu. Do you have acces to a breakout box?

With whatever scan tool you are using can you log the vss?

Yes we have a breakout box - and can log the VSS - what pin on the cluster is the VSS?

So what wire from the cluster goes to the ECU? It's not the cam bus

Default Where in NJ?

And insurance is paying for this or you are?


And can you log all four wheel speed sensors? You said one was replaced, correct?

I will pull out the wire diagrams in a bit and start poking.

Default VSS(g68)--->Cluster--->54 in ECU

The wire from the VSS to the cluster is brown/red. The wire from the cluster to pin 54 ECU is blue/lilac.

To test with the breakout box get a diode test list and connect to #3 and #54. Just turn ign on and spin the front left wheel by hand. There should be very brief flashes. If there are no flashes check for continuity between the cluster and pin 54.

All 4? There's only 1 VSS, drivers side, on the transmission.
