A VSS sensor is the Vehicle speed sensor and it is located on the transmission. It tells the computer how fast you are going and operates the speedometer and the ABS system.
You start the vehicle, when the computer sees that the vehicles started like someone is going to drive it, its a drive cycle
If they are going to drive, they must be a listed driver on a vehicle in the household.

The sensor in the differential may be bad. Also the wires going to the sensor may have rubbed against a brake line causing them to short. The sensor in mounted on top of the differential and reads the vehicle speed.
It's used for the speedometer and the cars ECU (computer). It tells both how fast your going.
If you are reffering the the Tempature Sensor. That is located on the head pretty much underneith the distributor. Signs that your Tempature Sensor is going out or faulty are once the vehicle is at full operating tempatures & it is turned off. the vehicle will have trouble starting back up. The vehicle will only have trouble turning on when engine is warm. no problem on a cold start.
Speed sensor needs to be replaced in the engine, look speed sensor up for your vehicle
