Code 97 VSS Out Put Circuit low?

I just scanned my car, because she was cutting off randomly, and got a code 97 reading:

"VSS Output Circuit Voltage Low"

what the hell is a VSS? and Where the hell is it?

Injuneer,

Can a VSS cause an engine to cut out and die?

I wouldn't think so. I've intentionally disconnected mine a few times (back when the engine used the stock PCM) and it ran fine. It would affect things like the coast down idle speed.
