EJ22 - VSS wire

[jrettenmayer]

Checked the write-up (thanks chux!) but can't figure out what to do with the VSS wire (swapping into a previously carbed 86 GL). In the Legacy, the VSS is located in the gauge cluster - is there a reed switch in the EA82 cluster also?

yep.

 

finally got around to scanning the diagram from my chilton's manual. really the only EA82 diagram you need

So - the carbureted EA82 also has this speed sensor? What function does it serve in the carbureted cars?

What about an ea81? Does the VSS wire hook up to the dash cluster on those as well?

yep, it's there. I don't think it has a function on carbed cars...but it's there anyway.

yea, as far as I know, most EA81s do have it. but I don't have any diagrams for those.

On an EA81 it is a seperate 2 pole pigtail coming out of the speedo section of the dash. Scavenge a *T* shaped 2 pole connector from something else and wire it in to that. Yellow/red wire is the signal, black is ground.

Nice. Thanks for the tip. I wasn't really wanting to add installing a speed sensor to my project. The list is long enough and I'm running out of time.

OK a couple of things.

A: the wiring diagram that Chux gave is some what in-correct. In that the numbers are off. The loyale plugs go from 1-23. On mine (85 crabed GL) the plugs have seperate number counts. The right (psg side) is 1-7 and the left is 1-14.

So when looking at the wireing digram for chuxs loyale it will not be correct. It is tue however that the #4 wire that says "speed pulse" is the correct numbeer to corespond to the VSS. The way I figured this out was pull out the cluster and follow the curcuit board. The only curcuit that did not make sens or that i did not recognize was one called RSW...which I am assuming stands for "reed switch."

But on Chux's diagram you will find that the tach wire is #19 but on mine it is #7. I found that out by again following the circuit board on the back of the cluster and then matching up the pins connectors with wires. I know I got the right one because my tach does work.

Hope this helps.
