Your VTEC isn't engaging but it's not throwing a CEL because of it?

Is the VSS wire coming from the speed sensor to the ECU good? might want to check that for continuity with an Ohm meter.

it seems like all the weires are running from my ecu correctly, why would i be throwing code 17 and my speedo still works? the cel doesn't come on right away it comes on while i'm driving it'll just ramdomly pop up and stay there until i turn off my car. what could be the problem?
