DTC P0500: VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION Kia Optima I рестайлинг

Note. Before performing any diagnostic test, refer toWARNINGS, CAUTIONS and NOTES in DIAGNOSTIC TESTS .

Note. Testing individual components does not isolate shorts or opens. Perform all voltage tests using a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter Meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10-megohm input impedance, unless stated otherwise in test procedure. Use ohmmeter to isolate wiring harness shorts or opens.

Diagnostic Aids

Malfunction code will set when Engine/Transaxle Control Module (E/TCM) or Engine Control Module (ECM) does not detect Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) signal (no pulse signal input) for 4 seconds. Check for following possible problems

  1. Open or short between VSS and E/TCM or ECM.
  2. Short between VSS and E/TCM or ECM.
  3. Open or short between VSS wires.
  4. Faulty VSS.
