Vehicle Speed Sensor: Vigor
- Verify fuse No. 1 in underdash fuse block is okay. Speed sensor is located next to oil filter. Unplug 3-pin connector from speed sensor.
- Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity between Black wire and ground. If continuity exists, go to next step. If continuity does not exist, repair open between speed sensor and body ground.
- With ignition on, measure voltage between Yellow wire and ground. If battery voltage is present, go to next step. If battery voltage is not present, repair open in Yellow wire between speed sensor and underdash fuse block.
- Measure voltage between Yellow/Red wire and ground. If voltage is about 5 volts, go to next step. If voltage is not about 5 volts, repair short to ground in Yellow/Red wire.
- Reconnect wiring to speed sensor. Raise and support vehicle. Connect voltmeter between Orange wire of sensor connector and ground. With ignition on and transaxle in Neutral, block one front wheel and slowly rotate other front wheel. Voltage should pulse between zero and 5 volts. If voltage does not pulse between zero and 5 volts, replace speed sensor. If voltage is pulsing as specified, go to next step.
- Disconnect 22-pin connector at speedometer. Backprobe Yellow/Red with a voltmeter to ground. With ignition on and transaxle in Neutral, block one front wheel and slowly rotate other front wheel. Voltage should pulse. If voltage does not pulse, repair open in Yellow/Red wire between speed sensor and speedometer. If meter indicates pulsing voltage, replace speedometer.

- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
