so my CEL has been on and staying on. after some searching i found out it was the TPS sensor. i fixed it and now my CEL comes on everynow and then. ive been having crazy issues with my batt and alt lately so i pull the carpet to count the lights and it is giving me 17 fast blinks. ive been told it doesnt do that it should not blink more than 10 times. i swear it is though. i know 17 fast flashes when i see them i read through the FAQ and code 17 is speed sensor. is this what my CEL is or what? any help would be great!

thanks

 

yes, 17 blinks is the VSS - all OBD0 ECUs for the D-series engines do not have long and short blinks, only short

 

thanks this will help a lot.
i knew i wasnt going crazy ive also noticed lately that my speed on my navi is 5mph more than it is on my odometer this could be why. thanks a whole lot!

Likely your speedo is off anyway, even fixing your CEL for the vss likely won't change the calibration. If your navi and speedo don't match I bet your wheels are different size than factory? that will throw it off by a few mphs for sure.
