I was just driving and it just stopped working, the code Vehicle speed sensor malfunction came up..... ya think.... (also the odometer stopped as well)


anyways I check the connections, on the dash everything seemed to work. but I havent checked the fuses, or ecu end of the connections.

any other ideas?


thanks

VSS decided it was time to check out maybe?

 

could be a short with your xede... check it out

 

I'd gut out the speedo not working for the non-working odo... lol But seriously, if it's throwing a code, why not take it in?

 

maybe you are goign backwards in time, or time is standing still, Im scared, you better fix it soon. just kidding. i would take it in too, too much hassle to deal with.

 

If it threw a code(p0500) the ecu is not seeing any activity from the speed sensor,possible that a loose connection,possibly a bad speed sensor.If your speedo was not working but you did not get a DTC(diag trouble code) then I would say check your speedo head,but seeing you got a code and your speedo is not working I would check your connection at the speed sensor,and or the sensor it self for a malfunction.

 

thanks ill check the xede also on i think pin 58

 

On the top of the tranny under the upper boost hose is th VSS sensor. Make sure the plug is in. I had my clutch changed and it was not pluged in.....

 

correct... I bet the code your throwing is p0500. Xede has nothing to do with the speedo don't even bother check that. It is your VSS sensor.

How do I disconnect my odometer? Will the po500 code negatively affect performance?

 

I know this thread is old but I got the PO500 code about a week ago or so just when I'm about to get my car tuned on E85. I changed the speed sensor but that wasn't it.
Has anyone have any experience with this problem. Can the car still be tuned?

 

ive had this problem for a year, and just recently my speedo randomly *tries to work, like ill be going 45 and speedo says 20-25. but then at other times itll just sit at 0mph. tried a diff harness, tried a used (supposedly working) vss, and still no luck.
