[b][size=7]I am hooking up my cruise control and I need to know the number of pulses per mile the VSS (speedometer sensor) puts out. It is not in the manual (I do not see it anyway) and the dealer is closed. Is anyone out west where you can call service dept and ask them, or does anyone know?
'preciate the info!
bonox
can't remember the number but you can work it out from the wheel diameter, sprocket ratios and the picture in the manual of the sensor pickup.

I think it is an eight (8) spoke pickup from memory, so multiply

pulse/mile = 1/(fraction of a mile that wheel circumference represents) *(large sprocket teeth / small sprocket teeth) * 8

Bit rusty but I remember a figure between 40000 and 80000ppm

no promises
