If you're experiencing issues with speed-related functions (speedometer, cruise control, transmission shifting), the problem is likely one of the following:
* VSS itself: This is the most common culprit. It's located in the transmission.
* Wiring between the VSS and PCM: Check for breaks, shorts, or corrosion in the wiring harness.
* PCM: The PCM may be malfunctioning and not properly interpreting the signal from the VSS.
Therefore, there's no specific location to look for a "speed sensor buffer"; the troubleshooting should focus on the VSS, its wiring, and the PCM.
