 |
|
Title says it all. I have a GW VSS in my Syncro with a 2.2 Subaru and want too add factory Cruise .
It seems to me that the GW VSS has a Pos output and the Factory cruise sensor use a Neg output .
I am looking for someone who has done this or who can steer me in the right direction.
I do not want to use a CV mounted pick up. I may have to install a signal generator in the speedometer cable.
If I am totally off base here or overlooking the obvious please feel free to correct me.
Stacy

So has anyone just cut a second hole in the back of the speedometer and mounted a second VSS ?
It would seem that the spinning wheel wouldn't care and you would now have both needed signals.
I have contacted Fast Forward to see if his device might work for me. I have almost all the parts in, the wiring is done I just need a Subaru Vacuum pod and I can almost start testing the system.

A second Reed switch at the rear of the speedo would work.
There are definitely switches capable of splitting the signal to satisfy both a VSS and Cruise Control ECU.
Luckily I use aftermarket management and keep the stock vanagon cruise control as a complete unit.
I use the EG33 vacuum actuators as they are perfect for my needs and have just the right length cable for where I place the unit.
The SubaruVanagon forum may give you far more info on how to and why to. |

In an early Legacy factory setup, the cruise works off the back of the speedometer from the same signal as the ECU, so I don't see any reason you will need a second sensor.
The only difference Im aware of is the signal is 5 pulse on the Subaru Vs. 4 pulse on the Vanagon.
