04 Civic EX Automatic Speedo Not Working
I know VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) is on the tranny but for this year
Civic how accessable and where ? Is there a quick way to test the sensor / output to determine it is bad ? (same car that is overheating and CEL on). Oh and the typical Honda failure of the hood-release pull knob broken ! |

Have you considered that the concurrent presence of several unrelated DTCs may indicate some other sort of problem? -- Tegger |
