Check Engine Light-- Speedometer Broken??
Yesterday the speedometer on my 1988 Prelude S finally bit the dust. It has
been jumping around for about a year. Today I noticed that the Check Engine Light came on -- so I pulled the carpet to get a look at the ECU. It read a Code 2-- "Vehicle Speed Pulser" in the shop manual. Would this be consistent with a speedometer cable breaking, or do I have a bad sensor? I know my cable is bad because the whining sound that goes with the jumpy speedometer is gone. I thought this assembly was all mechanical on my car-- but I obviously have a sensor also? Any advice is most appreciated. Thanks, Matthew Brown Memphis |
Re: Check Engine Light-- Speedometer Broken??
yes, the two are directly related. sounds like a cable.
the pulser is driven off the speedo. when the cable breaks, the pulser gets no signal as well as the needle not working.
