anyone think the abs light could be the reason my vtec isnt working?

my codes are 21 and 17 sometimes. how do i test the VSS??
my solenoid clicks.. i might need oil. its halfway. my rev counter works and revs to 5800 but no vtec..
please help.

 

well, if your speedometer is working, that's probably a good indication that your vss is working.

 

if your speedometer doesn't work, vtec won't engage. B/c vtec wont engage unless above 20mph

First, add more oil and reset the ECU and go for another drive. Get up to operating temps and try to hit VTEC.

If the CEL comes back on, check the solenoid for continuity between the wire and a chassis ground. Should be around 14-30 ohms.

But try adding more oil first.

 

many thanks to that i had to put in an extra litre and a half in my h22a, and had to plug in the type r a spec controller back in. thanks anyway
