i wuz coming onto the highway speeding up n u car started to slighty shake going over 80 once it got past 90 it stopped i drove for about a half n hour n came off the highway, five minutez after i came off the the car started to slow down then speed up several time in a row i geared down n the car died now it won’t fire up the ecu’s blinking code 17 which is the speed sensor how do i go about fixing this A.S.A.P!!! HELP
uhhh new speed sensor? :crazy:
…
ye obviously but how do i go about replacing it, as in where it’z located wut am i gonna have to do…
i believe its what the speedo cable mounts to on the tranny. i’m tossing a 17 too since my motor swap in my beater and i’m pretty sure it’s just cuz i have no speedo cable.
it in the top of the transmission housing under the starter. its held in by one 10mm bold and has the speedo cable coming out of the top and 2 PS lines out of the side.
Do a search on VSS, there lots of info on it around here.
heres a picture of it. the work involved is self explanatory
lol the bolt on mine snapped… didnt have that much force on it i assumed … but long story short the snapped bolt fell into the tranny out of reach lucky me i have an engine that iam almost done rebuilding to go into the car so it all has to be pulled anyways hhah be carfule with it i had bad luck on the easy fix
What exactly is the purpose of the VSS? My speedometer’s been disconnected for about 5 months now and just yesterday I started getting the CEL throwing code 17… Is the sensor necessary in any way, does it need to be fixed immediately?
Thanks
