Ford P0502 OBD-II Trouble Code Definition:
P0502 Vehicle Speed Sensor A Low Input
P0502 Ford OBD-II Trouble CodeDescription:
OBD Trouble Code P0502
Vehicle Speed Sensor “A” Circuit Low Input
What does the code mean? OBD-ii Code P0502 definition:
The vehicle speed sensor outputs a 4 pulse signal for every revolution of the rotor shaft, which is rotated by the transmission output shaft via the driven gear. After this signal is converted into a more precise rectangular waveform by the waveform shaping circuit inside the combination meter, it is then transmitted to the ECM. The ECM determines the vehicle speed based on the frequency of these pulse signals.
