I have a 98 GSR with a turbo, my speed sensor fuse keeps blowing and i dont have a clue why. Can any body help, with idea's or suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

 

Do you mind telling me where is the speed sensor fuse located at? Thanks

 

check for a short somewhere

 

speed sensor fuse is the same fuse under the dash for ELD, alternator, TCM and charging system light. it will blow if you have a bad ground to the negative battery terminal, so i wouldn't assume it's your VSS.

 

I have a battery relocate in the trunk that i will check. What is vss again?

 

vss is the speed sensor

 

I don't know if it would apply to you or not but there was a tsb for the 99-00 civic si's for that fuse repeatedly blowing because of a wire rubbing under the intake manifold

 

I'd actually DEFINITLY check that. It's a well known fact that Civics and Integras are basically the same car, and the fact that you're car's a GS-R and the TSB is for an Si, both their respective platform's high-performance models, both with OBD-II DOHC B-Series motors, chances are the engine part of the wiring diagrams will be nearly identical... check around the IM for a short to ground.

 

Thanks guys i will check it all tomorrow.

 

Any luck?

 

where is the speed sensor on a 99 civic si b18c1 swap? do you think that since its a swap its gona be in the original spot an si should have or **** this one of those things they have to convert when doing an engine swap. im having trouble with my car i think i might be getting rid of it soon im tired of dealing with the car problems idle problems.......

 

its mounted on your tranny LOL

 

vss is this thing on the left in this pic


here's one in a car

 

No luck yet, everything looks normal.

 

what do you mean normal? it should be bolted onto the transmission...maybe you should get someone to find it for you...honestly you can see it with your eyes just by looking down at the tranny

 

It is on top of the trans in the back twards the fire wall i located it an looked fine?, nothing rubbing it.

 

check for bad ground wires

 

Dude said the TSB talks of the circuit rubbing and grounding out on the intake manifold. Did you follow the harness up to that point to look for issues?

 

this is funny cause i dont remember any fuse that is labeled for the speed sensor at all!!!

 

page 23-49 of the dealer service manual

#15 7.5A BLK/YEL Alternator, VSS, ELD unit (USA), TCM, charging system light

 

mine wasnt working because it wasnt plugged in my engine harness

 

good to know..dont have a dealer manual thats why

or

if you're a bit torrent person, it's out there

 

I had this problem on my 98 honda civic. Jack up the car and go underneath and take of the intake manifold support bracket. When you take that off you will see a connector and an open wire. Its really easy and will fix all your problems.
