Speed Sensor VSS for Honda CIVIC 93: Please help
 

My speedometer is not working. Engine light turns on after couple of
minutes drive. I am assuming VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) went bad. Can
anybody please tell me where VSS located in Honda 93, CIVIC, LX sedan.
I am very novice and never worked on a car. However, I am not in a
condition to spend money beyond the parts cost now. If any of you
could tell me how can I locate my exisiting VSS and replace with a
good one. I call a dealer, they ask for $116 which I will buy after
making sure that this is really because of VSS. I know the ECL code
for VSS 17 and will make sure this today.

I would really appreciate if you could describe how could I locate the
VSS, replace it by a new one.

Thanks in Advance..

The VSS is located on the transmission, see
http://www.honda.co.uk/owner/civicma...df/23-a122.pdf for an up-close
drawing that doesn't really tell you where it is located. There is also
a drawing at http://www.honda.co.uk/owner/civicmanual/pdf/13-4.pdf that
shows a larger, less detailed view.

Before replacing the VSS, check that fuse # 24 (#12 if you do not have
air bags) is intact, as this is the fuse that feeds power to the VSS.

Re: Speed Sensor VSS for Honda CIVIC 93: Please help
 

Thanks both of you. You guys are so helpful. I appreciated it.
I am able to locate VSS. Randolph my car has driver side airbag only.
I will check both fuse 12 and 24.

Now, I need more help.
1)How can I verify the engine check light ECL for Honda CIVIC 93, LX.
2)Where is the service connector located. By service connector I mean
the jack you need to use to test ECU code. I heard under the hood,I
also heard under the dash board on passenger side. I look in both
places, did not find any.
3)If you guys know the location or if you guys have any graphics for
that, could you please post it here. Before, I start changing VSS.
4)Regarding VSS, can this happen that 3 wires that coming to the 3 pin
connector on VSS is broken or torn off. I couldn't verify this as it
is covered by tap/something? How do I verify that?

I would appreciate your answer

Thanks
