About a month ago my speedometer starting acting up. I would start driving and it would be fine. But in about two minutes the speedo would drop down to zero and then it would go back to the correct speed. Now the speedometer pulses and about 10mph off my speed. I understand that information is sent to the speedo through the VSS. (vehical speed sensor). I know I need to check the VSS, and am almost certain that this is the problem. But before I go checking and order the part I wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this problem. If so what other things might I check?

 

That would most likely be your problem unless you do a lot of mind altering drugs.

 

this same post was up about a few weeks ago. the problem was solveed by changing the (vss ) but the poster seid it was not easy part to get to ....... i think thats what they seid. also the part was $100 ........................ do a search you should be able to find it

 

What year and model? Does the CEL come on? Any codes stored?

 

Its a 94 accord ex coupe. The CEL doesnt come on either. I'm not really sure about the stored codes.

 

The speedo heads tend to crap out on those. A bad VSS will put on the CEL with a code 17.

 

thanks, do you think the vss is okay and it may be something else?
