Hello everyone,

I am new to the Honda Accord as this 91 is my first try at a honda. I hope someone can help me out. My speedometer comes and goes for no apparent reason. Also there is a green S flashing on the dash and I have no idea what it means.

Thanks,

 

Maybe your VSS? That would explain both. Read the error codes from your TCU.

Not sure what the terms mean can you elobrate.

Thanks

 

http://www.dhost.info/accordinfo/howto/cel.html Gives instructions that are pretty similar to your accord. Your plug is brown. Short that connector with a thin paper clip.

Instead of counting the Check Engine Light flashes, you count the S flashes. I will bet that your S light will flash 4 times (bad VSS) and that the Check Engine Light will flash a code 17 (also a bad VSS).

 

Took me 10 tries to post that already...

VSS = vehicle speed sensor
Thats on the tranny instead of a speedometer cable.

TCU = tranny control unit (computer)

 

Ok great info so far. I found this test ( http://autorepair.about.com/library/faqs/bl112f.htm)
do you all think it iscorrect for my 91.

Also I will check the link from PAhonda when I get home. Icant see it from work.

Again Thanks,

 

HA PAhonda the link you left for me keeps saying error 404. any other ones you know of would be great.

 

Also the green S light flashes constantly no breaks at all.

 

91 is old style blinking LED on ECU itself.

The link you found in post #6 is probably good, but wire colors might be different.
