i have a 1991 honda accord lx and i was driving down the freeway and all of a sudden the "s" light was blinking and then a couple of minutes later, my check engine light came on. im guessing that it is my VSS becuase my spedometer does not work. i just want o make sure that it might be it or i can just get the codes from it and see what it is. any input would be nice.

Did you check the connector terminals for corrosion?

 

ok this is really stupid, i thought i changed the cable but i think i changed something else. it was down by my wheel on my trasmission, and it only had one bolt holding it on, but when i looked on the internet to see what a VSS looked like, and it looked nothing like the thing that i just replaced. i want to know the location of this thing so i can replace it this time. thanks

 

i heard that there is a pin in the VSS, and if it breaks it will stop the signal from the speed sensor to the ECU, wow this stuff gets really confusing. o well its my baby

It's on the top rear of the trans. Look below the throttle body.
