Has anyone installed a Z2 in a new Thunderbird? My certified Pioneer install shop went to the speed sensor wires on the wheels but neither wire did the job. We then used the auto volume speed wire that went to the radio. I got a irratic pulsing of numbers from zero to 17 but mostly zero. Someone suggested tapping into the brown wire in abs line at the rear wheel before going into ABS module. Does that sound logical? Have not tried it.

Your truck is a new model year and a redesign year as well, could be tough. If your rig has the speed sensitive volume on the stock radio the VSS will be in the one of the radio harnesses. In many Ford truck models of the last few years this has been a grey/black wire. However, your rig is new so proceed with caution. You should also pose this question to the guys over at ford-trucks.com.

Simply enter your Vehicle Year/Make/Model here, and it will tell you where the VSS Wire is.

I couldn't find Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) for 2005 Kia Sorento.

I found http://www.sorentosite.com/diy/vss.pdf that shows a picture, however, the description is unclear!

 

Also, by searching for my vehicle and looking under "Body Electrical System"->"ETACS (Electronic Time"->"ETACS Module"->"Schematic Diagram" in http://msw.kiausa.com/viewer/default.asp

I see that On Connector "A", Pin 10 is Speed Sensor.

 

Is this the correct wire? If not, then where is it :(

Please keep your discriptions simple.

I'm a newbie, and this is my first attempt to work on my car :]

 

tnx

Okay, having trouble here. I have an '00 Eclipse GT and installed my Z1, but need to hook up the vvs wire. From my searches I have found that it can be found near the cruise control piece and it is a blue/white wire.

 

Is there a more specific/easier location to access this wire? I had my Z1 installed in my '06 Mustang GT (got totaled) with no problems, but I'm having trouble with the Eclipse :mad:

 

Thanks!

Thanks for all your help

Thanks for this sticky! I have a 2005 Hyundai Sonata. The site on the first message does not have a Sonata listed; however, all the other Hyundai's that year show the VSS wire to be the brown wire in the seventh position on the diagnostic plug.

 

I'm assuming that will be correct for my Sonata? If anyone knows, please confirm. Thanks!!

Hey,

 

Can you tell me the VSS for a 2007 Dodge RAM quadcab? I had my D3 installed and the installer is saying the VSS is controlled by CAN Bus so would need a CAN BUS to analog converter. Do you guys know what he is talking about? Is it that difficult or is there a VSS wire for him to use?

 

Thanks,
