DTC 21 OPEN IN VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION




Detection Item:




The signal from the vehicle speed sensor circuit is sent to the cruise control ECU as a vehicle speed signal. The rotor shaft is driven by the gear of the transmission.

For each rotation of the shaft, the vehicle speed sensor sends a 4-pulse signal through the combination meter to the cruise control ECU (See the installation). ECU calculates the vehicle speed from this pulse frequency.
