Go to Step 2

Go to Diagnostic System Check - Instrument Cluster

1. Install a scan tool.
2. Raise the vehicle's drive wheels. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.
3. Start the engine.
4. Place the transmission into drive on a vehicle with an automatic transmission or into third gear on a vehicle with a manual transmission.
5. With the scan tool, observe the Vehicle Speed Sensor parameter in the IPC Data list.

Does the Vehicle Speed Sensor parameter match the speedometer display?

1. Turn the ignition OFF.
2. Disconnect the PCM connector C1 (3.8L) or PCM connector C2 (5.7L).
3. Turn the ignition ON.
4. Measure the voltage from the vehicle speed signal circuit to a good ground.

Does the voltage measure greater than the specified value?

9.6 V

Go to Step 6

Go to Step 5

Test the vehicle speed signal circuit for an open, for a high resistance, or for a short to ground between the IPC and the PCM. Refer to Circuit Testing and to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?
