For a '0411 or equivalent PCM, yes those are the VSS sensor pins. Maybe try swapping them just to see what happens?

Funny you said that. I tried swapping.

I think the only thing left it could be is either bad VSS sensor or something wrong in pcm.

anyway to check the sensor itself? I just replaced it but I’ve seen stranger things than getting a bad one.

is it possible the new (refurbished) pcm has an issue with reading the signal? From reading the pcm I think it came out of a 4.3l v6 not necessarily a corvette but it seems all the pins etc are the same.

I think it generates an AC signal so pull the wires out of the connector, put your meter on AC volts and run it on jack stands so you can measure for voltage on the wires.

P01 just refers to the 512k PCMs and P59 just refers to the 1M PCMs I believe.
OP was the new PCM plucked from a manual car? I never saw you confirm or deny.
