Default SPEED SENSOR NOT WORKING!



its been a few months since my speedometer stopped working , so what i did is tha i lifted the car and try to wiggle the plug to see if it worked and it worked again until 2 weeks ago.

it randomly stopped working on the freeway, then eps light came on and the check engine light came on too. so what i did was take the car to autozone to see what was going on with the check engine light. it scanner said that it was a faulty sensor.

i came back home and lifted the car again trying to wiggle the cable and that didn't work. so i ordered a speed sensor and just replaced it. the speedometer still not work and the eps light still on.........


please help!!!

where can i get the plug that plugs into the speed sensor?

Google for Majestic Honda Parts. They have a catalog online. It will take some hunting to find though...none of the online catalogs are very user friendly.

It's made onto the engine wiring harness. Go look for the same connector at a junkyard, doesn't have to come off a S2k.

Solder is a bad idea. It sounds good, but with all of the vibration of a car, the joint will break. did you ever wonder why the OEM harness is not soildered?

I don't know if the plug on the Del Sol is the same. It could be that the plug is not the problem and that the problem is further up in the harness.

Since you are posting here for the anwser, I will assume you don't know how to trace a harness looking for a short or break in the wire. You are going to need to fine out if it is the plug or the harness.

i wanted to take to honda , but when i told them what was going on they told me that they would just replace the whole harness and that is 320 bucks plus 3-4 hours worth of labor.

i think the main problem is the connector, because it won't go all the way in to make that click sound when is fully connected.
