Dan P Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 The vehicle speed reading is bouncing around, lets say I'm trying to cruise at 40 and it will spike around to 90, 60, 50,30 and sometimes a ridiculous number like 2000. It can have periods where its nice and steady but just a few seconds then its back to being crazy. At lower speeds it doesn't seem affected as much. I've tried replacing the gauge cluster because the VSS is built into it (cable driven speedo with reed switch output to ECU 4 pulses per revolution). I also tried bypassing the factory harness and ran my own signal wire from the reed switch to the ECU, and rewired its ground source to sensor ground at ECU. Pullup is on, no reading without it. Falling or Rising edge makes no difference. Wired to DI3, LF Wheel Speed, Calibration = 250. I highly doubt I need shielded wire as I never see this on a VSS...please help!

Simon Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 Best way to fault find this would be to have a scope on the signal to see what is happening. You could also se the input on the ECU to a Frequency input and see if that gives an unstable frequency Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan P Posted July 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 I got it to work perfectly by feeding the reed switch a 12v+ instead of a ground like the factory. Turned off the pullup of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
