Circuit | Short to Ground | Open/High Resistance | Short to Voltage | Signal Performance |
---|---|---|---|---|
Vehicle Speed Signal Circuit | P0608* | P0608* | P0608* | B0001 |
*. Speedometer and/or Odometer Inaccurate or Inoperative |
The engine control module (ECM) creates the vehicle speed output signal by pulsing the circuit to ground at a rate of 4 KPPM. The VSS input is pulled high to B+ in the radio. The ECM monitors the voltage at the vehicle speed signal circuit to determine when the voltage is out of the normal operating range.
• | Vehicle speed must exceed 4 km/h (2.5 mph) after receiving a global positioning system (GPS) signal. |
• | Engine speed is more than 400 RPM. |
• | Battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts. |
The navigation radio compares the vehicle speed signal from the ECM to the GPS location signal every second. If the GPS signal indicates that the vehicle has traveled 4 km (2.5 mph) but no vehicle speed signal was received, the radio sets the DTC.
The navigation radio may exhibit the following conditions when a fault is present:
• | The vehicle icon may jump to different positions on the map screen. |
• | The vehicle icon, current position marker may not move on the map screen while the vehicle is being driven. |
• | The route guidance accuracy may be degraded. |
• | The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists. |
• | A history DTC will clear once 50 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred. |

Important: The drive wheels of the vehicle must be raised and the transmission must be placed in drive or first gear. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle.
⇒ | If the speedometer matches the scan tool vehicle speed parameter, test the vehicle speed signal circuit terminal D for a short to voltage, short to ground, or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the radio. |
⇒ | If the speedometer does not match the scan tool vehicle speed parameter, refer to Speedometer and/or Odometer Inaccurate or Inoperative. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
