Scheme 489: OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT (1991 2WD - EXCEPT "C" & "K" SERIES)

The speed sensor, which is a Permanent Magnet (PM) generator, provides Digital Ratio Adapter Control (DRAC) with vehicle speed information. PM generator, mounted in transmission, produces a pulsing voltage signal whenever the vehicle speed is more than 3 MPH. Voltage level and pulse increase with vehicle speed. DRAC converts this signal to a pulsing signal by grounding circuit 437 (Brown wire) 2000 times per mile. Control module uses this signal in calculations to determine vehicle adjustments.

Note. Test numbers refer to numbers on diagnostic chart.

  1. This step tests for voltage variation while wheels are turning. Voltage will be low at low wheel speeds (4-6 volts at 20 MPH).
  2. This step checks if vehicle speed sensor signal is present at DRAC.
  3. This step checks output speed sensor signal.
