So last night my speedo stopped working completely. I got code 4 and code 17 from my cel. Also the SRS light blinks when I check the codes. What does this mean?

I know code 4 is crank position sensor and code 17 is VSS. Does this just mean my VSS is bad or what?

 

Come on Tyler, we expect more from you around here.

I am sure you searched around on the board and found that seeing if the CC still works is the first step.

I am sure you did that already, so does the CC still work?

Does the CEL come on while driving?

Have you checked the connector going to the VSS (top of trans near firewall)

Have you taken the VSS out and cleaned it yet?

Since I am sure you have done all that (cause you are in school for this stuff) R&R of the VSS would be the next step.

 

See this:

VSS - Vehicle Speed Sensor Troubleshoot, Repair, Replace - How To.

 

I havent been in school for that long crispin

CC?

 

Im pulling the VSS out right now. Computer is in the garage. Ill let you know what happens after I clean and test it

 

CC = cruise Control

 

Cleaning it didnt work. Ill take a trip to the highway right now and see if the CC is working
brb

 

CC doesnt work. What next?

 

Orange wire has 4.8v
yellow wire has 11.7v
both with key on

 

R&R the VSS (remove and replace)

I do not know why we tell people to clean the VSS, I have not seen one person where that actually did anything.
