Caution

•  Water or foreign objects entering the connector can cause a poor connection or corrosion. Be sure not to drop water or foreign objects on the connector when disconnecting it.

On-Vehicle Inspection

1.  Inspect the power supply circuit for the VSS.

(1)  Remove the aerodynamic under cover NO.2. (See AERODYNAMIC UNDER COVER NO.2 REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

(2)  Disconnect the VSS connector.
