Default will a VSS code in a obd0 car with no VSS affect my tuning?

I have that code since day 1 of my ITR swap in my DA...it has never affect my VTEC engagement and the light only come on after a couple of minutes or even hours of driving...some people told me that my tuner will not be able to tune the car because of that code...i know for sure that my car has no VSS... its a speedometer cable instead that provide me that speed im runing...any output on that would help me!!!

Thanks

If you are using bre then the vss check for vtec engagement can be disabled.
I'm surprized you have vtec because typically the ecu requires speed for vtec to engage.

For cable drive trannys, the vss is in your cluster.

Yes that is very possible. I'm assuming your speedo cable is not broken.

No my speedocable is brand new...and my speedometer is working fine on the cluster!!! Do you know if my old 1991 OEM integra cluster has a VSS in it so i could get the change...or maybe its coming from my ecu...

Can the VSS be by-passed or given a false signal?

some pre obd1 cars got VSS... they are IN the CLUSTER actually where the speedometer cable goes into the cluster... u can put one in from a crx Si if yours ain't good and if it doesn't have one you can still put it in there.
