I have a big problem every time I decelerate my motor, the engine light turns on, i took a look at the ECU and it "blink" 17 times, so gues its the VSS Sensor, but i canīt manage to find it anywere :-/

Any one who can explane the location of the vss sensor to me og even better show me some pics.

The car iīm talking about is an CRX year 90 with a ZC engine.

Right on your tranny. It either popped out or got loose.

APEX CRX

yeah check that the cable is in all the way.

chrishede

The caple is in, I cheked that, but i cant manage to find the sensor anywhere, somone who got any pics

vitrox

sensor is part of your gauge cluster. follow the cable right to it.

chrishede

I chéked the kabel all the way to the cluster, and its in all the way, i really cant seeme too find the problem anywere, please help me.

I have had the same problem for years and I have had it through a couple of motor swaps. The only thing that I know to do is to replace the guage cluster.

chrishede

I have replaced the cluster and reset the ECU but it didīnt seeme to help, I still have error 17, hmmm what to do i do not know :-(

Does your speedometer work?

IF it does, then run a wire srtaight from the VSS to the correct location on the ECU and see if that solves it. Maybe you have a wire break or a bad connection in the wire someplace.

chrishede

My speedometer worsk fine, but i canīt find the VSS sensor anywhere, someone says it sits ind the cluster but where?? i cant find it, anyone got some picīs too ilustrate this??

it sits on top of the tranny, not on the guage cluster

Rywire

its the cable that goes through the firewall at an angle, and into your tranny

that's it. goes into tranny right by the mount. there's a clip that is screwed to the trannny casing that holds it in.

chrishede

Is the VSS sensor located where the cable goes in the trany or what?? I cheked the cable it looks fine and sits very good i the tranny, with the litle look clip.

Please put on som pictures so i can see, please help me.

vmm

Wrong

The VSS is mounted on the back of the speedo.
Run a wire from it direct to the ECU or get a book and properly test that thing.

The cable is the cable drive.
The thing in the tranny is the gear drive for the cable drive.


Now - check my sig and lets all get iPODS!!!

chrishede

Okay so its in the cluster were the cable comes in and clicks on, Iīve changed it all but it dosīnt seem too have any affect at all, I still get the error 17 on my ECU, and the yellow warning blink turns on when I decelarate.

Iīm soo f..... mad about this s... but ill chek it again some time in the weekend.

I wonder why this is such a common problem in rex's with ZC swaps. I too have this stupid problem and as of lately I am driving spedometer-less.. 1 ticket so far *45 in a 25 * lets see how many more until I decide to fix it. And yes, the VSS is NOT your SPEDOMETER CABLE.. The spedo cable is a mechanical line, there is nothing electronical about it which would make you throw a CEL. - Darrell
