Hello everyone, first time posting, my spedometer stop working on my CRV 1999, I was wondering if somebody could tell me if I need to go to the dealer to get the cable replaced ?

Thanks for your time

oh ****...mine just stopped as well like yestersay..i was wondering the same question i got a 2000 b20z2 on my 96 hatch and my speedometer and odometer doesnt work..but my rpm and fuel works....weird..havent checked the lines or my cluster yet ..so i duno..i would like to knoe information about this situation too..tahnx

 

I believe that the Speedo is not cable driven....it is electrical....there could be something amiss.....what year is the B20? 1999??? Hmmm.

 

Yes it is a electric speed sensor.

 

So if it's electrical then could it be a fuse or some thing I can fix ? Any body has an electric diagram ?

Thanks for the replys

 

it's most likely your VSS. I had this happen to me and it was hell trying to find out what was wrong. I took apart the dash and swapped clusters... checked wiring, fuses.... everything u could think of.

the VSS is located on the top of u'r tranny near the back. it has a plug with 3 wires coming out of it and the sensor prolly just went bad. when i took mine out, it was all rusty and corroded. so check that, i was able to get an extra one from a friend but i dunno how much a VSS cost.

There is a fuse for it but it's inside the SRS fuse block under the dash. This is speaking from a civic's standpoint but i'm sure it should be almost the same. i don't really think it would be that prob. there are ways to testing the VSS by probing the VSS plug and spinning the wheel to see if there are voltage changes. What the VSS does is send a frequency of pulses which then is translated by u'r speedo.

i would pull u'r VSS and swap with a friend. if that doesn't work, swap the cluster out.... it's all about isolating the problem.... HTH

Sorry It took so long to answer u back, I was out of town for a while. Thanks for the details on how to check it, I'll be doing that this weekend and will see what it is.

Once again thanks

 

Well, there is a screw in the back of the gauge cluster that will disable the speedo if it's removed (don't ask how I know ) but I doubt that fell out...

 

Why does a VSS go bad?
