Message The speed sensor is a wave forming circuit that produces an output signal in hertz (SI) via two wires, ground and signal out.

The speed sensor generates 16 pulses per 1 rpm of the speed sensor.
1 RPM = 0.0166666666666667 x 16 = 0.2666666666666672 Hz

60 mph = 0.2666666666666672 x 1024 = 273.0666666666672128 Hz

60 mph = 273.0666666666672128 Hz (Input drive signal to equal 60 MPH)

1 mph = 273.0666666666672128 / 60 = 4.5511111111111202133333333333333 Hz

(2P output signal to ECU at 60 MPH)
The 2P output signal to the ECU is the speed sensor signal divided by 8 and converted to a DC square wave. If using a scope to measure it you won't see it if the gauge is not connected to the ECU. You'll need to use a pull up resistor.

2P = 273.0666666666672128 / 8 = 34.1333333333334016 Hz @ 60mph.
