There is a flag in the 6395/7427 OE/31 that is "output speed not from drac". Does that mean you can connect vss directly to pcm and do ratio conversions in the appropriate area in the bin? I realize there might not be any speedo output but the unit I am thinking of has gps speedo so not a problem.
I've directly connected a 2000 Pulses Per Mile VSS (square wave) directly to pin F13 and set the "output speed not from drac" without issue.

That's how I have mine set up. No issues.Quote:

On a side note when you get a calculator and start dividing those 95000ish divided by the numbers in the overdrive ratio and you start to see a possible correlation.
I think I see some confusion.
You are correct, the DRAC outputs 2000 pulses per mile to the computer.
The DRAC can be eliminated, (for example when a vehicle does not have a 40 tooth output ring), by using an aftermarket 2000 pulses per mile VSS directly to the computer. When you eliminate the DRAC, its a good plan to set "output speed not from DRAC".
I was thinking you want to eliminate the DRAC?
Getting back to your original question: setting "output speed not from DRAC" will enable a VSS signal filter to ensure a clean square wave VSS input. Setting "output speed not from DRAC" Does Not enable a ratio conversion.

Got it now. Thanks
