Difference between Getrag VSS and T5 VSS?

Helical · Post by **Helical** » Fri Sep 23, 2011 2:21 pm

Ok, so I'm nutting out what to chop and change with my series 2 VS to series 3 VS engine loom/PCM switch and am a little lost when it comes to the VSS.

My ute is fitted with the T5 (5 speed manual) but the PCM that is going in was made with to work with the Getrag box. My issue being that the diagrams I have show the T5 having a single (purple/white) wire running from the VSS to the ECU while the Getrag has two wires (Tan and Blue/White on the diagram, in real life they are red wires in a black outer with coloured heatshrink at the PCM plug) running to the PCM. Is there going to be a way for me to plug the T5 VSS into the VT/VS3 PCM and have it work?

Anybody even care to take a guess? I have figured out the power wire down to the T5 VSS which doesn't go via the ECU on the VS 2, so I now have two wires for the speed sensor but I'm not about to go sticking a power wire into the new PCM, might not end so well.

I'd hook the signal wire up to one of the two pins, and if it doenst read, then the other.. then if it still doesnt read, come back for more figuring.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot when I do the switch. Was doing the change today but have realised the VT S1 loom I have is a little too different to the VS3 loom so that went into the too hard basket and now I search for a VS3 V8 engine loom

T5 = Hall effect and Getrag = reluctor sensor. The VT PCM uses pin D2 for a hall effect input, the bin needs to be setup to select the correct VSS input - need to have manual trans flag set and VSS option cleared.

Awesome, just the stuff I want to hear. Cheers for that!

I have been playing with this but can't get a VSS reading through the PCM. I have the V/W wire from the T5 Hall Effect sensor into pin D2 of the PCM anf have played with the flags I have available in TP but still can't get a readout. The sensor is working as the signal wire is tee'd off to run to the dash too and I'm getting correct readings from the speedo. I have a feeling there may be something I am missing in the Bin/ADX/XDF file(s)

Attached is a screenshot from TunerPro RT of the flags I have been trying combinations of.

Not sure why there's 2 flags for manual transmission, but I think you only select hi res output for reluctor type & guessing un-tick for hall effect?

Try with the manual 1 and 2 flags set (flag 1 is the man/auto flag and 2 is RDSC) and the hi res flag cleared (its for a getrag man trans).

Thanks for clarification VL, didn't know about the RDSC flag will need to read up!

Was pretty sure with Hi Res flag as you said too!
