Default 4L60E VSS erratic reading

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Car is a swapped LQ4, 4L60E, only mods are CAI and Tune

Rebuilt 4L60E with the Beast, Corvette Servo, Raybestos clutches, Trans Go stage 2 shift kit, new shift solenoids.

Going through the lights at the 1/4 mile my VSS readings are erratic. 106 to 80 mph then back to 90 mph. car feels like it down shifted. It doesn't do this all the time about every 4th or 5th run.

I am attempting to upload the HPtuner log from that run.

Thank You in advance

Have you pulled out and cleaned any metal shavings off the VSS?

Thank You for including a log!!!!! I can see the rapid VSS drop-off, And it was pretty erratic leading up to the drop-off.

Do you have a circuit piggy-backing on VSS High/VSS Low?

Is the VSS High & Low circuits/wires "twisted"/shielded?

Your log so everyone can view it.

Thanks for the quick replies.

urb0123, I will pull the VSS and check it for metal tonight.

clinebarger, Yes the Speedhut Speedometer is tied into the VSS, the wires are not shielded as to my knowledge nor are they twisted, I will check both tonight. I will also upload my first pass from the other evening where the VSS reading was clean. Strange that it doesn't do it all the time and only at the higher speeds.

Never tie-on to the VSS circuit. Your PCM has a 4,000 PPM DC Output & a 128,000 PPM DC Output you can use for your speedometer.

Cliebarger thanks for the info. I hooked the speedometer up to red connector pin 50 and re-calibrated my speedo. Can't get to the track till next week to check on it. I appreciate the help.

Urb0123 I did pull the VSS and there were no shavings on it. Thank you too.
