Speedometer/Odometer work intermittently
I have a 91 Honda Accord which has a problem that happens intermittently
while driving. The speedometer and odometer are working fine then all of a sudden the speedometer drops to 0 and the odometer stops registering mileage. Sometimes they will start working again during the trip, and other times they won't. There doesn't seem to be anything that triggers the failure. When they stop working, a green indicator light with a 'S' in it (under the temperature gauge) and the yellow indicator with a engine icon light up. A local repair show said that he could replace a sensor (or sending unit ?) on the transmission for around $150 but wouldn't guarantee that it would fix the problem. I would appreciate any help. Thanks John |

Re: Speedometer/Odometer work intermittently
could be the speed sensor, or the speedo head.

Odometer works intermittently
I have a '93 Civic. The speedometer works fine all the time but the odometer works only half of the time.
Anybody run into this problem? |
