Vehicle Speed Sensor: Testing and Inspection

Vehicle Speed Signal

General Description
The purpose of this diagnostics is to detect vehicle speed CAN errors. This can be a timeout of the messages which contain the vehicle speed signals or a signal received with error value.

Monitoring Conditions:
- ignition key on
- engine running for more than a required time
- battery voltage conditions required for CAN diagnostics fulfilled

Vehicle Speed - Plausibility Diagnostics

General Description
The purpose of this diagnostics is to detect vehicle speed signal errors.

Max. error is detected if the vehicle speed is higher than a calibratable threshold.
Min. error is detected if the vehicle speed is lower than a calibratable threshold during closed throttle fuel cut-off.

Plausibility error is detected if the negative vehicle speed gradient is lower than a calibratable threshold, while the brake is not actuated.

The vehicle speed signal is diagnosed as not faulty if during closed throttle fuel cut-off the vehicle speed is above the appropriate threshold.
