I looked for the VSS location and did not see it but I willl check again. You might have to use the wiring diagram to locate it. I know that sounds a bit tough but generally you will be looking under the dash on driver side or under the hood near the fuse/relay box. The you look for a control type box which is any box with an electrical connector and no other connections. Then you would have to match the wire colors to make sure you have the right control box. You might have to go to an enthusiast forum to use the search function and find a post thread where someone has asked that question and another member who has been in the situation you are facing answers the question. I am not sure why some information is not available in the service manuaals we can acces, but I looked for it in several ways and could not find its location. One thing you will have problems with when searching for it is that the Vehicle Speed Sensor, VSS, has the same acronym and is a more commonly searched or referred to sensor that the control box you are looking for.
The rapid flashing is actually a morse code for a trouble code and is referred to as the, "short code" which is a single or two digit number that will give you some of the trouble code in a short listing. It is a lot easier to go to Advance Auto ro Auto Zone and let them put a reader on it that will give you more information than the short code. If you conunt how many times it flashes and then it eventuially pauses, that is what is going on. Otherwise that is the only reason that they flash like that for. There may be a code that matches a non stop flash.
