Recommendation/Instructions:

Using the Tech 2, check the EBCM, ECM/ PCM and/or TCM for any speed sensor related DTCs. These DTCs will need to be diagnosed first. Follow published diagnostics for related DTCs, repair and evaluate the vehicle after repairs are complete. If no DTCs exist in any other module, inspect the rear VSS sensor circuit(s) from the rear VSS sensor to the related module (ECM, PCM or TCM) for integrity. These circuits are 821 and 822 or 400 and 401 depending on model and model year (use SI to locate the schematic that applies to your application). Repair or restring these two circuits as needed. Evaluate the vehicle.

Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
