Default Speed Sensor and CEL ?

I've searched this topic before and I just found inconclusive information.

My problem is would not having a Electronic VSS and a Cable VSS throw an Check engine light. I have a B16 with a SiR gauge cluster and a Zdyne One pin PM6 ECU reprogramed to act like a PR3. My speedo stopped working before I ever did the motor swap and I don't have a Electronic VSS installed for the SiR cluster but I did attach the ECU TO CLUSTER speed signal wire. Also I want to know if anyone has a photo of a Cable VSS so I know what to look for when I go lookign for it around the tranny.

I'm curious to find out if that would ever put out a CHECK ENGINE LIGHT because I'm tryign to find out the cause of the CEL by starting with the small stuff first.

Any information would be greatly appreciated

Would that CEL light come on right during start up or 5 min down the road? Because my CEL would come on about 5-10 min of driving depends if I'm on the freeway or regular roads

Thanks

get an electric VSS from a 94+teg or 92+civic and bolt her up. Split the wire into two so 1 side goes to the cluster and 1 goes to the ecu.. done deal.
