Awesome video i have the same problem with my 94 accord. One question , how
much does that replacement part cost? i might asume there different prices
per year.
need some help please, my integra 2001 model speedo is fucked lile yours
was i was wondering do i do the same things as you? were do i get the parts
from? for type of vehicle its a gonda aswell. took it to get it looked at
they said 1500 juat to fix it i cant be fuxked paying that much for a small
problem bro
thanks Alex your video showed me where the speed sensor was on the Honda.
On 96 Accord check engine code P0501 vehicle speed sensor. This part is not
covered in Haynes repair manual (great book). On my 96 Accord the speed
sensor does not include the speedometer gear in your video. I ordered from
CarParts.com for $36 delivered in 9days.
@TheAlexManVideos Thanks. I really meant it when I said I appreciated it…
I was able to replace the VSS after I saw the location in this video. I
must say, though, the socket extension was necessary for me… i tried for
a while without it and only managed to injure my thumb. (Not much space to
get much torque) Also, I have a ODBII reader – you can reset the CEL that
way, too. 😛 I cannot thank you enough for this video, though… the amount
of savings from doing this myself was quit nice.
I can’t tell if you are working on this from the engine compartment or from
underneath the car. Would have been nice if this was done during the day
but thanks for the effort
Yes it will affect performance. The computer will realize that a sensor is
malfunctioning and go into a sort of safe mode. Vtec will not engage so it
should feel the same up to 4000 RPM and then it will not be as powerful as
before. Also, cruise control will not work. Once you replace the sensor and
clear the codes it will be as good as new.
@sighedeffects I apologize for filming this at night. It was a convenient
time for me. Anyway, the extension isn’t necessary. You could fit a ratchet
down there but it made it easier since I had a lot more room to spin the
ratchet when it was out of the mess of wires and hoses and such. The only
tools you need are the 12 mil and whatever screwdrivers were necessary to
remove the intake tube from the airbox to the throttle body. After that
it’s plug and play.
I do really appreciate this video… as I have the same problem in my 2001
Accord. Every site I’ve found has given me wrong information. (A few sites
told me I had to remove my tires, or go under my car.) I spent over an hour
looking for this thing and couldn’t find it due to bad information. I
really just wish you had done this with daylight/more light…and showed
the removal process… also, is the extension bar necessary on the socket?
What tools are needed besides the 12mm socket?
@iamchaser Okay so this guy made a video to help us out, and you are giving
him attitude for it? He’s not being paid for this, he did it merely as a
courtesy to you and me, so you probably aren’t in a position to be
choosy… but Alex, thanks for the video, I looked all over for the speed
sensor and unfortunately, the Haynes manual only had illustrations for the
automatic transmissions. I’m gonna go right now to put it all into
action… oh and way to maintain composure
Wait, is it the same concept if my speedometer is like off speed. Like when
i drive, the mph is way off, i’m going like 20mph, and it says i’m going
like 60. ANY HELP?
I’m having a problem with the speedometer on my 95 honda accord hatchback
and I’ve been looking solutions with mixed results. My speedometer works
sometimes but for the most part it rolls back behind 0. The other solution
I found was to replace the speedometer’s circuit board. if my speedometer
works sometimes should I replace the circuit board or do this?
That resets the Maintenance Required light. The Maintenance Required light
is used to remind you that your car is due for service. It comes on every
7500 miles which is the oil change interval. I don’t think it resets the
check engine light.

Thanks for the video. I was wondering where it was at and now I know.
Daytime video might have been a bit better but still a very informative
video.
i cant see i am blind!!
Thanks for the video. ..now I don’t have to hunt it down.
Well at least I know I’m capable of actually fixing this damn thing.

Well in that case, call whatever your local auto parts place is. Why would
you bother with a store that doesn’t exist in your country?
My speedmeter is off by 10. Does that mean my vss is bad?? Thank you!
