Default vtec problem

vtec hits in first but not in any other gears (its a b16a3 with b17 tranny)...ive been told maybe the chip is set to low, maybe the wiring(i checked the wiring its good), the soliond is dirty(cleaned that), oils good. It is throwin a vss code which is code 17 could that be a problem with vtec engagin? If theres anything else i should check please tell me or if anyone else has had this problem enlightin me.

Hm, there is a CEL and something isn't working right.
Nah couldn't be linked at all.

It's posted many times exactly what is required for vtec engagement, search.
