My CEL code on (code 17) it's speed sensor. Once I got a brand new speed sensor the speedometer still didn't work as usual (but the remains panel, ie: RPM, fuel indicator are just fine) and CEL still on. I'm afraid I bought a replica one not an OEM. Next actions: 1. Buy an OEM speed censor But if its fail again, is it possible that the panel of speedometer failure? What do you think?
Hi. For what I have seen is that the instrument cluster panel's electronics go bad after 200,000 miles or so. I have replaced 2 cluster panels so far in my car and my speed needle worked just fine. It stopped again recently and I bought a OEM speed sensor because, it caught on fire by faulty writing. After its replacement the speed needle still don't work. So, I know I just need to get another instrument cluster panel. The new ones are expensive that why I look online for used but, good or in junk yards. So, my best guess for you too is replacing the instrument panel if your miles are near, at or past 200k. I did the same with others Honda cars I had in the past and that fixed the problem. Don't buy the speed sensor again until you replace the instrument cluster first. I hope this helps you. Thank you for reaching out to me with questions. I appreciate looking at my channel.
@@arqubits Thank you for this reply, really appreciate it :) Now its around 150k on mileage. Yes I agree and considering to replace the speed instrument panel only. However I just curious since I never replace it by OEM (will borrow from friend with normal condition) to firm before I replace the speed instrument panel.
That will be a great choice to borrow the instrument panel if you can. By the way removing the instrument panel is not hard. It only requires to remove like 4 screws in the instrument panel itself and remove the wiring harness. Reassembly is the reversal of removal. I haven't done a video on that yet. But, I promise you it is very easy. I will do an instrument panel replacement video later myself and posit it. Wish you good luck. Thank you for watching, thumbs up, subscribing and supporting my channel. Have a great day!!
Onur. Thank you very much for looking and subscribing to my Channel. There are 3 main parts that affect your speedometer and odometer. These are the transmission, the speed sensor/w cable and the heads up speed display. Choosing one or the other is a hit and miss. I would check each device first before changing one or the other. The main reason I chose to the replace the speed sensor first is because I had another Civic that I can troubleshoot this part without buying the part or because is was the cheapest part to replace first. Then go with the other parts like the cable or the speed display then lastly the transmission. So, this process of test and elimination helps you find what part is the one that is causing the issues. You may also test the speed sensor with the multimeter and spin it to see if it is good. Mine burnt by wire fry cables and this fixed my issue. Another time in another Civic I had the speed sensor went out and another time the speed display went out. So, for my experience the speed display will go out first then around the same time the speed sensor will go out too. Next the speed cable can break and lastly the transmission can go out. I hope this methodical explanation can help you decide what component to change first. Wishing you a great and blessed day!!
Hi. Be aware that not because the engine light is "On" your speed sensor or speedometer or odometer in the instrument panel is bad. Check your engine light codes at your auto parts store or use a code scanner. Replace your speed sensor if you get a speed sensor error or after you replace your instrument panel first. The speed sensor rarely goes bad. It may go bad until your car is 250 miles. So go step by step troubleshooting your issue first then choosing what to replace first then second according to your engine code scanner result. I hope this advice was of help. Let me know if you have more questions. Have a wonderful day!!
Hi. Not necessarily. It all depends on several factors. 1. How many miles your car or truck have? If the vehicle has over 200k or more miles, then your instrument cluster maybe going out. In my car I have changed the instrument cluster 3 times. The car has a new engine and transmission and the instrument cluster start going bad after 180 or 200k miles. The only time I changed the speed sensor was when my wiring and speed sensor burned due to fried sensor wiring. 2. If your vehicle don't start at all, then your have to check all the components that make the vehicle start. (I mentioned them in my video original notes. If all components are good then check the speed sensor for continuity in 2 of the contacts with a multimeter and spin it with your fingers. You will get close and open circuit and the multimeter will beep. (Turn the sound on). Then you see if the speed sensor is bad and replace it. (You can also test it in the car . Turn the engine on and have someone test for 12v on and off (on the millimeter) use test pins to black wire and other wire of sensor. (Some sensors are 2 wires and others are 3 wires. Don't use the steady 12volt feed wire but, sensor output wire. (Colors my vary depending on vehicle). Otherwise you have to check more components. Also the main relay and computer may go out after 300 or 350k miles. I replaced them both too. One at a time after careful troubleshooting. 3. If your vehicle still runs and the odometer still working but not the speed gauge, then you may have a bad instrument cluster. 4. If your odometer is not working but the speed gauge is, then the wire to the transmission is broke for the odometer. 5. If odometer counter and speed gauge don't work but vehicle start and runs, then you most likely have a bad instrument cluster. So, you have to troubleshoot your issue before you start changing parts. Mainly when the speed sensor don't work (attached to the transmission), then the vehicle won't start. Even if your starter coil(s), starter switch (in steering column), engine starter, starter relay, computer, fuel pump and sparkplugs/wires and rotor are good, if the sensor is bad or the wires to the sensor are lose or making bad contact or fried, then your vehicle won't start. You must fix this first. I wish I could solve your problem easily but, it all depends of what component is malfunctioning. Check what I told you and then you will see it the problem is your instrument cluster going bad, bad contact of the wiring connector to the instrument cluster, or rusted connector in instrument cluster terminal. This will cause your speed gauge not work. If your vehicle runs, then the problem is not the speed sensor. I hope this helps. Do some troubleshooting then you can find out. Good luck.
The part that the speed sensor mounts to is the transmission. Beneath that there is a wire moved by the transmission which in turns moves the speed sensor. The speed sensor then in turns increases AC current or voltage from Zero to a predetermined voltage or current. The computer analyzes this data and gives readings of speed and helps manage other processes like fuel management and timing and odometer readings. You can test the speed sensor by removing it and running a drill on the outside as to give it speed with a drill bit or other tip and measure the AC voltage or current of the sensor with a multi-meter. Here is a link that explains better how to test a speed sensor. www.wikihow.com/Test-a-Vehicle-Speed-Sensor-with-a-Multimeter Remember the problem with my speedometer in my case (90%) was the cluster or instrument panel speed head and electronics in the cluster. ( I changed it 3 times so far in 400K miles in several years since I bought used clusters due to cost). Sometimes it could be dirt, corrosion, carbon deposits, lose connector or fried or cut wiring to the sensor or the sensor itself. In my experience looking at the manual troubleshooting steps or checking or replacing the cheaper parts first then the most expensive ones seemed a good option. This is up to you. I hope this was of help to you. Have a great day.
Hi. I do but I can"t upload it here is this message thread. Go here to see it. images.app.goo.gl/PQ9cvSkLyEGpbCnc9 The (left) black wire is ground or negative. The (middle) yellow wire is 12v battery and the red (right) wire is th 5v output pulses to the ECU, (Electronic Control module, "Computer"), The TCU, (Transmission control unit) and gauges. I hope this helps. Have a great day.
Black goes to ground(anywhere metal) Middle wire is signal(goes to ecu same wire thats at ecu is spliced to another wire thats going to the speedometer The other wire is power 12v
I put a brand new speed sensor in my 93 honda civic 1.5 lt and I get nothing in the dash for fast going . The old would jump up down in speed .so would did do wrong with the new sensor I get no reading on the dash .does anybody know how fix my problem . ?
For my experience here half of the time the speed sensor is bad, the other half is the odometer instrument cluster panel. No tell which one is the issue until you replace both. I highly recommend changing the instrument cluster panel first before you replace the speed sensor. The dealer instrument cluster is expensive so get a used cluster for 125 or 150. This would last another 50 to 100 miles on the car. Then by then you either sold the car or your engine goes bad or you need to replace it, maybe transmission, and the speed sensor.. too. Good luck.
No, the odometer will work. It is a stand alone system. It is connected to a separate wire to the transmission. The speed sensor is for the car's computer to manage fuel, ignition spark, timing, speed rate and more. The speed sensor sends a signal to the computer from a 3 or 4 electrical wire, depending in what vehicle it is. I hope this answers your question.

Any where to buy the bottom part with the Gear? Mine is broken?
I looked on Ebay, nothing...

So the speed sensor has 3 wires negative, positive and signal wire(goes to ecu, and spliced to cluster speedometer signal wire)
For those that dont know 91 is obd0 therefore they are cable driven same goes for 91 integra,crx,civics
What this video is 92-95 obd1
While in use, it goes full round by itself and gets stuck at 0. It doesn't go forward. Is the problem vvs or the indicator?
