Hi I have looked all over my car for the speed sensor wire which I have been told by honda is somewhere on my gear box and I can acces it from the top. I have ripped my car to shreds looking for it and had no luck!
I am told its a blue/white wire. I need it to connect my GPS speed sensor to..

Does anyone know exactly where it is, and how I can get to it? I am not very good with mechanical names such as tranny, and coils etc. So please speak in the most simplest form possible

thanks and its great to be part of a whole gang of prelude lovers.

 

it's in the back it's a big unit running into the tranny. it has power steering lines running into it and a plug on top

 

here is the wire connector you are looking for



and here is the vss removed, installed it is just beyond the lower right corner of the pic.



hope that helps, good luck.

 

I really appreciate your help but is the tranny the gear box?

And from those pics it looks like i can open the bonnet and access it from there?

or are they from under the car?

thanks again.

 

Tranny = Transmission = Gear box

You access it from the top, and it will be towards the back of the transmission.

 

you will need to remove the intake and some other things

 

sorry to be a pain, when you say you can access it form the top i dont get it.
Do you mean from inside the car were the center console is? (I have ripped the center console and looked but no wires connecting there)

where is the gearbox for my car exactly? if i can locate that I should be able to figure out which wire it is..

thanks again.

 

Open the hood, standing in front of the car, the TRANSMISSION is attached to the motor on the left, under the intake. It's on the back side of that.

 

thanks mate that makes it much easier for me now!

I will post a pic of my car up soon its a very different kind of prelude, and would like your opinions..

thanks for all the help.

correct.

 

Just curious, why are you removing it?

 

I want to install a navigation unit in my car, but need to connect th speed sensor wire to the cars, so it knows when the car is moving etc..

 

given your extremely limited knowledge of the engine bay and such why don't you just pay someone to install it.

 

It would be much more simple to tap into the VSS wire going into your ecu, although with your limited knowledge of the car it might be better to just stick to what works for you, just a suggestion though

Tap into the VSS wire at the ecu, much easier and cleaner.

 

if your taking the vss sensor off, i wouldn't disconnect the lines
that run to it, just undo the bolts

 

which wire is the speed sensor that connects into the ECU?

And where is the ECU on an import prelude?

thanks

 

The ecu is located in the passenger side footwell, under a metal plate.

The VSS wire is in location B10, it is orange.

 

thanks for that mate.

I tried connecting the wire from the gearbox, but the speedo doesnt work then!
I will give this a shot, and if all fails will have to go and pay £170 for someone to just connect a wire from the vss to my stereo!

thanks

 

Thanks everyone for your help.

I managed to get it working from connecting to the ECU..

thanks again.
