Vehicle Speed Sensor: Description and Operation

Component Locations:

The vehicle speed sensor which is located in the instrument cluster, transmits a vehicle speed signal to the CIS-E control unit. The CIS-E control unit switches engine idle speed control over to air flow control above a vehicle speed of approx. 0.9 mph. This process improves vehicle driveability at slow stop-and-go speeds (prevents possible bucking). The engine idle speed control is activated once again at vehicle speeds below 0.9 mph.
