I have an '00 Si. I reversed up a small driveway and the CEL came on and now my speedo won't move off of 0mph.

Is my speedo electronically controlled, or cable controlled and would it breaking set off a CEL?

Advice is appreciated.

Thanks
Jason

 

Check to see what code its throwing.
Im assuming is your VSS. which is located ontop of your transmission.
look to see if the conntection is dirty/loose

 

vehicle speed sensor. Pull the code to verify then fix the problem.

 

Better explain to the noob how to pull a code.

JasinC19, take it to Autozone, they do it for free, or do a search on here"pulling cel codes" to get a thread on this topic. There are several of them.

 

Thanks, I'll do that. XD

It's electronically controlled, not cable controlled. Breaking the VSS (Vehicle speed sensor) would set off a code #17 - the check engine light.

For how to check your codes without a scanner go here:

If you have a '96+ you can get a more accurate code with an OBD-II scanner (like "system too lean" or "system too rich" opposed to just an OBD-I general "fuel supply system."
