What is the importance of the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) and its location in Chevrolet Astro and GMC Safari?

The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) informs the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) of vehicle speed and controls the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC). For 1992 and earlier models, the VSS is behind the instrument cluster; for 1993 onwards, it's on the transmission's rear extension. For the former, remove the instrument cluster and then the VSS screw. For the latter, raise the vehicle's rear, disconnect the electrical connector, and remove the retaining bolt to extract the sensor. Installation is the reverse, inspecting the O-ring seal and checking transmission fluid levels.

Chevrolet Astro Vehicle Speed Sensor

The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) in Chevrolet Astro cars is developed to determine the speed of the vehicle with the help of specifying the distance traversed or the number of revolutions made by particular components during a specific period. This data is important because it is fed to different computer modules which control the functioning of such systems as the engine and the anti-lock braking system (ABS). Chevrolet Astro cars employ a pair of vehicle speed sensors, these are the passive and the active wheel speed sensors. Passive sensors produce AC signals by magnetic induction from the rotating parts and have the output in the sinusoidal form, while the active sensors complement this with signal conditioning circuits to provide the signals in other forms. This has helped in enhancing the features and performances of these sensors in order to enhance the general experience of the Chevrolet Astro.

Each OEM Chevrolet Astro Vehicle Speed Sensor we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
