Hey fellas, first post on this forum is going to be about the Vehicle Speed Sensor and DRAC Module system.
1992 Chevy S10 4x4, 4.3L TBI "Z"
Symptoms: Sporadic speedometer, cruise control not working, ABS system issues, odometer not advancing correctly
Solutions tried: Replaced Vehicle Speed Sensor and replaced DRAC Module with a used module.
Both solutions got same result: Didn't fix the problem!
-------------------
Here are my testing results:
Tranny in gear (OD) with rear wheels raised and moving at idle speed- scan tool reads 0mph.
As per shop manual testing chart-
DMM on 20vdc between pins 8 & 11 on VSS buffer (DRAC) module- .07vdc, no change with speed.
Pin 8 (ground) to pin 12 (VSS input- out B)- .05vdc
Pin 8 (ground) to pin 7 (VSS input- out A)- 0vdc
Old VSS- 1277 ohms, New VSS- 1217 ohms
Tested continuity on CKT 822 and 821, both good with .004 ohms resistance between them.
With this testing and the flowchart, it leads to a bad DRAC module.
---------------
I know that the module sends signals to the ABS, cruise control and ECM, so it made sense that the module is bad.... but.... I just thought of something. I'll have to check it out when I get home, but if the ECM gives the module any kind of reference signal, then maybe that is the problem. I have an extra ECM as well. So, I guess I have another avenue to go down before tearing apart the transfer case and checking the inside for damage.
Your thoughts??
