The VSS sends the signal to the instrument computer mounted in the instrument cluster. From here the signal is sent to the engine computer, auto computer and cruise control computer.
It's strange that the cruise control stops working but the auto shift isn't affected. It might be a problem with the instrument computer. Were you able to check the vehicle speed via a scan tool?
