Why do Vss die out so much??

[H22A91CB7]

If your car doesnt have any power steering fluid in it will the Vss stop working Im trying to figure out why ive went through 4 Vss in the last 6 months

i got one FS if u need it also in my thread

[slammed4thgen]

ive never had one go out


oh and no, powersteering fluid has nothing to do with the vss.

you don't have a coolant leak do you? I had one right where the pipe meets the T stat housing behind the block, and it was dripping on that when i was driving causing it to short out sometimes.

are you using oem or aftermarket?

if its autozone parts, i would take them off and try an oem one and see if it is the issue.

hmm...and youve checked the wiring isnt frayed or anything?

have you tried just replacing the cluster? maybe thats the issue and not the vss.

Those lines go to the power steering speed "sensor." This is to control power steering fluid pressure, so that it increases when the speed of the vehicle is low and decreases when the speed is higher.

might actally be a grounding issue. check the ground that goes to the thremostat. later.
