Technican: Hello, Can you tell if the vehicle speed sensor is properly installed. Are any wires pinched or improperly routed? Have you examined the condition of the connector terminals and the pins on the speed sensor?
Please advise.
Owner: The old trans had the speed connector on the right side of the trans. Like the old cars with the gears. The new one does not have that same connector. I cut the connector to make it work.. But when I did that it made the speedometer run fast.
Technican: Is the new speed sensor connected to the original harness now, or are the wires cut and not connected? Are diagnostic codes being set?
Owner: The wire that I cut is on the speedometer side. The other senor is OK. It has 2 wires running to it red and the other one is green. On the 97 the speedometer is on the passenger side on the 2001 it is on the passenger side, but run a long cable that run back to the driver side. also the 2001 censor is on the top and the 97 goes in where the old cable hookup
Technican: Did the 1997 have a cable driven speedometer (no electrical wires)? Do you want to hook up an electronic speed sensor and connect it's Red and Green wires to your car harness? Is this correct?
Owner: The 1997 has a electonic hookup. The 2001 hookup is different. They both have 2 wire
Technican: Thank you, now I can research wiring schematics for a recommendation.
I'll access The Mitchell 1 Auto Repair Data Base and see what I find. It may be tomorrow before I have what we need here. Back as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience.
Owner: I will be here waiting. Again Thanks for all your help.
Technican: After studying schematics, I'm thinking you may have hooked up your speedometer to the sensor for the turbine shaft, and not the transmission output shaft.
The transmission turbine speed is monitored by a Turbine Shaft Speed Sensor (TSS). The turbine shaft spins anytime the engine is running.
The transmission output shaft does not turn unless the car is moving. The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) monitors the output shaft and it's signal is used for the speedometer.
Do you have a FAX number? I can send info to you.
