Circuit/System Description

The vehicle speed sensor (VSS) is a 3 wire sensor. The engine control module (ECM) provides a 5 volt
reference circuit, low reference circuit and a signal circuit to the VSS. The VSS is a Hall Effect type sensor that
produces a square wave output signal to the ECM. As vehicle speed increases, the output frequency of the VSS
signal increases. The ECM converts the square wave output signal into vehicle speed shown as km/h (MPH).
The ECM supplies the VSS signal to other control modules on the vehicle through the serial data
communications line.

 An engine control module (ECM) replacement


 A CPP sensor replacement
 Any repairs which affect the CPP sensor relationship

1. Install a scan tool.


2. Monitor the ECM for DTCs with a scan tool. If other DTCs are set, except DTC P080A, refer to
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle for the applicable DTC that set.
3. With a scan tool, select Clutch Pedal Position Learn under Module Setup in Manual Transmission, and
perform the following instructions displayed on the scan tool screen.

NOTE: The CPP sensor learn procedure cannot be performed more than once per
ignition cycle. The clutch pedal needs to be fully depressed and held
steady throughout this procedure in order to perform a correct learning.

4. The scan tool will display under CPP Learn Status: Not Learned, In Process, Complete, Fail - Low Volt,
Fail - High Volt, or Fail Moving. The scan tool will display under CPP Learn Status Complete if the
process was successful.
5. If the scan tool indicates that DTC P080A ran and passed this ignition the CPP sensor learn procedure is
complete. If the scan tool indicates DTC P080A failed or did not run this ignition, refer to DTC P080A, .
If any other DTC is set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle for the applicable DTC.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


TRANSMISSION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The F40-6 is a 6-speed manual transmission. This manual transmission is an all-synchromesh 3-shaft
transmission.

Fig. 58: Manual Transmission

This 3-shaft transmission has the following advantages:

 Compact construction
 Improved smooth-running performance
 Better shift quality
 High torque transmission

1 Input shaft
2 Upper main shaft
3 Differential gear
4 Lower main shaft

In this transmission angular cone bearings are used for all shafts. These bearings require a certain amount of
play and pretension. The required amount of bearing play and pretension is achieved at the production stage by
using shims under the angular cone bearing in the transmission housing.
