[Gmecm] VSS Question

[T & J Spees]

Hey, I thought I would let you know that I got my ECM to read the VSS.  It
works a lot better when you change the correct bit.  It is now working
correctly thanks to your suggestion.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I am using an AXXD chip.  I checked the bit for
the VSS and it appears to be set correctly - 0 for the magnetic 4k sensor.
Just for grins, I tried it with the bit set to 1, and it didn't work.  Any
other ideas?

Hi there!

I don't know what MEMCAL (chip) you're using (please mention the BCC -- 
broadcast code -- which is a 3 or 4 letter string on the MEMCAL label 
like AUJP), but does it expect a magnetic VSS (4000 PPM, AC signal) or 
an optical one (2000 PPM, 5V square wave)?  The 727 and 730 can use 
either, but the MEMCAL has to be programmed to look for one versus the 
other.  It's an easy programming change (one 1-bit flag determines which 
VSS input it monitors).  If you're burning your own chips, this should 
be easy to check and change.
