Hey guys, So i had a problem on my b20vtec. I had intermiddant readings on my speedo then it stoped working completely. Then 2 days before i was replacing my clutch it started working again. After clutch replacement it stopped working..

Bought another vss and also switched the female connector bc there was to much corrosion. Still getting a CEL light, speedo still doesnt work. NO Vtec :/

Any suggestions ? any advice would be helpful thanks guys

 

Does the VSS connector have battery voltage on the power wire and good ground on the ground wire?

 

I havent checked it and i dont know how. I also dont have a voltage reader :/

 

not very good with electrical stuff

 

You have an electrical problem. It's time that you learned how to do some basic electrical tests. Can you get a digital multimeter?

Yeah im sure my neighboor has one, he's building a 68 camero ss ground up. I'd love to learn, just no one ever wanted to give me advice haha.

 

When you have the multimeter, post a picture of it and also mention what car you have.

 

Ok, will do. I'll see if i can get it tonight. Thanks. 1996 Honda civic , b20vtec gsr head.

 

Also check whether 7.5A dash fuse 15 is blown.

 

ill check that now and take a break from work be right back

 

Ok pulled fuse #15 . The metal prongs on the fuse are slightly colored brown but the inside looks good, i can take a photo of the inside of the fuse an upload , like i said not very good with electrical stuff

 

lets see the pic. Checking it with an ohm meter would be best but if its clearly blown we should be able to see that.

 

Are you sure you wired the connector back up correctly?

 

 

yes im pretty sure i did, i was going to recheck just in case when i get home.

 

a bit blury but doesn't look blown....

 

Yeah the inside of the fuse is intact , the only questionable thing for me is the lightly colored brown coating on the prongs of the fuse ... Is that how it should be ?

 

no it should look silver like bare metal.. I honestly can't say if its enough to affect it or not. Best thing to do is to get the multimeter and go from there..

 

ok, I should be able to get my hands on one tonight or tomorrow. This is to test the actual vss sensor for ground and positive charge ? not the fuse ? i can just put a new fuse to be safe to though yeah ? Thanks

 

You can also use the multimeter to test the fuse.

Swap in a spare 7.5A fuse into the #15 slot to see if anything changes.

 

Ok thanks guys, ill be back on tonight or tomorrow. asap.
