Chart 4: Vehicle Speed Sensor Circuit

The vehicle speed sensor is installed within the speedometer; it sends to the cruise control unit pulse signals that are proportional to the rotation speed (i.e., the vehicle speed) of transmission's output gear. This vehicle speed sensor is the reed switch type of sensor; it generates four pulse signals for each rotation of the speedometer's driven gear. See Fig 1 . See WIRING DIAGRAMS  for circuit locations.
