Have you changed the gearing? The PCM does a calculation based on RPM and speed to illuminate that light, there's no position sensor in the trans.

Anything else not work, suggesting a fuse? You are correct, the vss must be working well enough for the speedo and cruise to work. There is always the other STANDARD stuff, the bulb or a broken wire/bad connection in a plug. Did the shop or you wash the machine recently?
