i have searched around here tryin to find out wat VSS is? can some one shed some light on this for me:wave:

[G3RA1D]

Vehicle Speed sensor - it pretty much tells the ECU how fast the car is going

^^^what he said
speed sensor=how fast you are going :p, also rpm. I forgot to plug mine in last time i took the g'box out and my needles didn't move

[riruiz_88]

i don't think it reads RPM.

I thought that was done from the crank position sensor?

i can remember removing my VSS and i think my RPM needle still worked. Can't remember 100% tho.

Correct - RPM signal comes from the Tacho wire from the Dizzy box.

if the VSS is not connected the RPM will still be functional. :)

VSS is located on the g/box which sends a signal to the ECU / Speedo on the cluster. basically the wiring is like a Y splitter.


in regards to pics see attached. they come in different shapes and types.

Top left is from a non electronic VSS this is a cable driven.
Right is a 99 Integra VSS
Bottem left is a 99 civic VSS

Ive also included a small diagram of how it is wired up.

enjoy!
