My speedo went dead on the drive home last week. I replaced the VSS sensor in the transmission without any effort to diagnose the problem. That was easy but did not fix the issue and now I own 2 perfectly good VSS.
I then opened a wiring diagram from G60ING's signature (thanks for that) and am trying to troubleshoot. The pic below is 2 snapshots of the diagram pasted together.
The problem is this: with the ignition on, I am only getting ~ 3VDC on pin 1 of the sensor connector; it should be 14.5VDC. I traced this back to the 24 pin connector T24/9 on the engine and measure ~3VDC there as well. It actually measures ~5VDC but drops to 3 quickly. The schematic shows this black wire going to connection F25 (track 51) and looks like a dead end. This is where I get confused.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm looking for the voltage source for this black wire/VSS sensor. Thanks! In the mean time...I have my head under the dash.
