new to the board . just wondering if anyone could help me out . i drive a 94 accord lx automatic . while i was driving down the highway i noticed my D4 light started blinking and then next thing my speedometer dropped to zero and stayed there since . later the engine light came on too . i thought it might just be a sensor or a blown fuse but i dont know what to do . any suggestions ?! thanks .

 

sounds like your speed sensor on the trans went bad.

 

yeaa . i just pulled a code 17 . which is the speed sensor . but what now . do i just replace it . how much does it cost for a new speed sensor cable ?! thanks .

 

nevermind . i just called up honda and they told me it would be around 120 . goddamm . would it be a problem if i didnt replace it ? ahaha its not like i really need it .

 

I believe it will affect the transmission shift points, not good.

Yes, the part is a little pricey. I bought a used unit for $40 from a salvage yard.

good luck

It's pretty cheap if you go with an aftermarket one...don't really know how reliable they are though...so I'd say stick with the OEM one!

 

i was wondering . could i use a speed sensor off a prelude or an accord ex tranny ?

 

does speed sensor matter if it goes on manual or automatic

 

i believe it doesnt matter . but i am not 100% sure .

 

Another reason to go 5spd. Good Luck
