DESCRIPTION

The No. 1 meter ECU receives vehicle speed signals from the skid control ECU via the CAN line. The vehicle speed sensor detects the voltage that varies according to the vehicle speed. The skid control ECU supplies power to the vehicle speed sensor. The skid control ECU detects vehicle speed signals based on the pulses of the voltage.
