i have a 91' accord lx and the speedometer is not working, the tach and other gauges are working just not the speedometer, i have tried replacing the speed sensor with a used one i am gonna try a new one, i have drain and filled the trans. (auto) i have also unplugged and tried to reset the tcm or what i think was the tcm. i need help this is getting impossible

 

check the fuse box for any blown fuse.

 

that was the first thing i did there was nothing, oh and the "s" is blinking after driving down the road like a mile then some times a cel comes on but when i shut the car off and start it up again the cel isnt on

 

When you said you replaced the VSS with a used one... i was like "tsc, tsc", this is so common to accords, you probably installed another bad one in.

 

thats what i am kind of thinking i am gonna try a new one and see what happens. so i am assuming that the "S" blinking along with the cel means it is a transmission issue mainly? what about the solenoids on the front of the trans? could those go out and cause this problem?

 

The "s" can blink when the VSS is out, remember seeing a thread 2 weeks ago where the guy thought he had 2 separete problems.. but.. it was only the VSS. You already know the location right?
A new one will cost about 30 bucks or so.

 

ya i know where it is i just need to get a new one is that a sensor that i have to get from the dealer or can i get it from the parts store like napa?

 

Here is a couple i found. But im gonna call around to see if I can find one locally, so i dont have to order it.

thats for 94'-97' it looks close to the same is it gonna work for a 91'?

 

i dont think so. I saw ones for the 90-93 and they looked like they had a plug or strap coming off of them. Just google VSS and your year accord, and search around.

 

i just ordered one for like $30 so it should be here in a couple of days if this isnt it i think i am gonna mess with the solenoids and see if that does anything

 

92-97 accord vss well be ok,you also can us a 92-95 civic sohc vss.
i change mine and to come to found out i got a bad tranny

 

an automatic eg vss? i ordered one and it should be here by wednesday if not sooner so we will see what happens, i am still interested to know what those solenoids are all about on the tranny. all my cars are 5 speed except this accord, anyone know much about those solenoids?
