Having a similar problem on my 95 Honda Accord LX (4 cyl, automatic).

I replaced my VSS and yet the cruise control, speedometer, and odometer still doesn't work. The old VSS had a bent shaft thing, and when I replaced it with a new one it still hovers at 20 mph.

Could it be that the part that Advance Auto gave me is faulty? Maybe I put it in a messed up way? Or am I looking at something more complicated such as the speedometer itself being bad? There's no check engine light on to indicate anything either. Everything works fine but the odometer won't turn and the needles bounces at 20 until I shut it off. I thought about "bumping" the dash but I don't think it'll do anything at this point. Also I don't think my D4 light comes on, it may be burnt out.

 

Don't post at end of a related or unrelated thread. Start your own thread.

Does Check Engine Light come on when car is started and run for 1-2 secs and go off?

Does D4 light indicate when shift position is selected? If not it's burnt out and should be replaced. I don't know any other way to check for TCU codes.

Probably the gauge panel is faulty. Some have been able to repair by pulling the panel and resoldering solder jts or looking for damage and repairing.

good luck

 

Sorry about the thread necro. To be honest I didn't have a peek at the rules like I should have, but it won't happen again.

But to answer your questions:

1. I do believe I see the engine light come on then off after its started. At least when I put it to II the lights come on.

2. The D4 light does not show when I'm in that gear. So therefore its burned out. I'll look into the how to's on replacing that.

I'm guessing I'll have a go at the panel pcb. I believe this was the thread to look to: http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2087284

 

Joe- just me but the cruise and speedo are on different circuits.....

So if the cruise worked before this issue then we have a different animal.

Been around aircraft in any way? Sorry, just thought I've seen this somewhere.

 

Not that I know of. I have no idea if the cruise control had worked beforehand. I should probably really replace the D4 light asap so I can see if its blinking. The check engine light its not on but I know the light works cause it goes on then off when I put the ignition to II.

I only mentioned the cruise control cause I read that if the cruise control works and the speedo doesn't, then its the speedo itself, and if the cruise and speedo both don't work then I read that it was the VSS. Sorry but this car is my first Honda and I have no idea about them except what others are telling me.

Some other sites have said that it could be the computer under the passengers side, or the speedometer gear in the transmission could be missing or something. Perhaps I can also check the VSS itself through either voltages or manually spinning it.

 

I have same exact problem has anybody found the fix?
