Strange Civic speedometer fluctuation
My sister's speedometer in her 1998 Civic DX is acting very weird.
Sometimes it works and then it just drops off. The odometer stops as well when the speedo drops off. Any ideas? |

Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS). Common fail point. Is the Check Engine light on? -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

Had the same problem on my 98 civic a couple years ago. Speedo all over the place while driving, and it idles a little weird. Check fuse #15, is it blown? Is your check engine light on? If so, check out the files located at this link, should help you: http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/misc/..._mil%26fuse15/ It refers to TSB 99-029, and there are even pics of a wire thats managed to rub enough to become bare and ground out that circuit which affects the VSS and both O2 sensors. Re-shrink the wire and replace the fuse and your back in business. Hope this helps! t |
