If foreign materials are stuck to the VSS, disturbance by magnetic
flux can cause sensor output to be abnormal and thereby negatively
affect control. Make sure that foreign materials such as iron filings
are not stuck to the VSS during installation.
Water or foreign material entering the connector can cause a poor
connection or corrosion. Be sure not to allow water or foreign
material on the connector when disconnecting.
Do not damage the terminals.
