Applicable truck models
This file applies to Cummins ISB CM550 engines in the 1990-94 group where Fault Code 241 is logged for the vehicle speed sensor circuit. The extract states that the VSS is most commonly installed in the rear of the transmission, and the checks reference the OEM harness, ECM connector pins 8 and 18, speedometer connector, transmission tail shaft gear, and test drives above 16 kph [10 mph]. See the manufacturer information at Cummins official site.
