Default No speedo and engine check light

Hi guys
I was out last night, and while driving on a bumpy road my speedo stopped working and my check engine light came on. Ive been told it could be the VSS but i cant find where this is on my car (a JDM EK4 SiR w/b16) i have a service manual but i think the diagram is for a SOHC and for the life of me i cant find the VSS on my car.

Also could a blown fuse have caused this problem?

Thanks in advance guys, i used the search bar but nothing matching came up.

9 out of 10 times, the plug has a rotten pin, not on the VSS but on the engine harness plug that connects to the VSS. what we've done is take the pin out of another ej and hook it up to the plug and it worked.
