Hi Everyone! I cam over from the
Explorer Forum with a very tricky and technical VSS question which has yet to be answered by the four or five forums I've posted it in.
I'm hoping there's a VSS genius here at this forum.
My situation:
I am swapping the body of my '96 V8 2WD Explorer onto the chassis of a '99 V8 AWD Explorer. Sounds easy enough. The problem I am having is the VSS are different (maybe) and are in different places.
On my '96 2WD, the VSS is on the tranny tailshaft housing (if it were AWD it would be on the transfer case). In 1998 Ford changed the VSS location to the rear axle.
I am assuming that the VSS's are different between the two years. It would be nice if I could just connect my tail shaft wiring to the rear axle one of the '99. But I think that sounds too easy.
Does anyone know if the EEC-V on my '96 can read and interpret the signal from the '99 axle VSS? I know the VSS uses a Hall Effect to send a digital ouput. I'm thinking that if the two outputs are different, I can get a Speed Cal or something of the kind to adjust the output readings so my '96 EEC-V knows the correct speed of the vehicle.
Thanks for the help and reading my looong post!
