CEL 17, Speed Sensor 90 Civic DX

Got a CEL #17 on a used 1990 Civic DX hatchback, manual tranny, I am considering buying. I know it could just be a loose wire. For now, where is the speed sensor on a 1990 Honda Civic DX?

Is it called something else in the various service manuals?

I have searched http://www.bkhondaparts.com and am having no luck for the manual transmission Hondas c. 1990.

Does the speedometer work?
If not,It is probably the speedometer cable.

For pics of cable and connections,see:

ps>In my case the speedometer did work and
I ended up having to replace the instrument cluster..
