Is the CEL ON? Code 17 indicates a problem with the VSS circuit, which sends the mph signal to the speedo.

Sub a well known working vss and see if that solves the issue. Broken vss do not always trip the CEL. I know from my own experience.

Do the same for the VSS connector atop the transmission. Check for damage and corrosion. Is the connector getting battery voltage? Is fuse 15 under the dash blown? Is the cluster connector loose?

All connectors are fine. No damage or corrosion. No connector is loose. Fuse 15 is fine.
