How to test if VSS is working?
I have a 350/700R4 with the SD system. I have installed this system in my 1964 GMC truck......
I have a new set of Dolphin gauges hooked up to this.....
I get no reading on my speedo.....I have tried setting all the DIP switches as recommended, but still nothing....
All my other gauges work fine....
What can I do to check if my VSS is sending a signal to my speedo?
Can I measure voltage off the back of the speedo?
I am not getting any error codes at all from the computer....
Let me know if you need any more information.
Thanks
Chad

Do you have access to a scan tool? Plug the scan tool into the ALDL port and see if the computer is getting a VSS signal.
Are you using a cable drive speedo or a electronic speedo? The SD computer is expecting an electronic signal and it outputs an electronic signal to the speedometer.

electric speedo.....
I've looked at the pin-outs but don't know if I can read a voltage to see if it works..
anyone have any idea...
I am going to try and find a handheld scanner......

You might be able to take off the VSS from the transmission and spin it with a variable speed drill motor. Might help in trouble shooting.
