speedometers bouncing all over the place. would changing the VSS fix the problem? or could there be a short somewhere? also will having a bad VSS turn the CEL on?

 

I have the same problem code 17 right

 

yup

 

17 VSS - speed sensor

Probably is going bad. Replace it.

 

yepp.. speed sensor is going out.

 

first, try to clean your vss.. if it doesn't work, then replace it..

mine did this, and CLEANING IT HELPED

so before you go and buy a new one or toss yours out clean it.

take it off the tranny (2 12 mm bolts i think)

then take it inside and take that bitch apart.

its gonna have some grease in it, but its gonna be all nasty and sticky.

clean that **** off and regrease it.

then clean the electrical connecters and throw some dielectric grease on them

install and test.

 

where is it located?
because i face the same problem from time to time!

 

on the top of the transmission, has 2 12mm bolts holding it on. and 1 connecter on the top of it.

cant miss it (passenger side)

 

thnx man
