Speed Sensor Input Test
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1993 Honda Prelude. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Check 10-amp fuse No. 23 in dash fuse box. Disconnect 3-pin connector from speed sensor, located on right side of engine.
- Use an ohmmeter to check continuity between Black wire and ground. If continuity exists, go to next step. If continuity does not exist, check Black wire for an open circuit. Also check for poor ground.
- Turn ignition switch to ON position. Use a voltmeter to check voltage between Black/Yellow wire and ground. If battery voltage is present, go to next step. If battery voltage is not present, check Black/Yellow wire for an open circuit.
- With ignition on, check voltage between Orange wire and ground. If voltage is about 5 volts, go to next step. If voltage is not as specified, check Orange wire for an open circuit.
- If continuity and voltage checks are okay, but speedometer/odometer/trip meter does not operate properly, replace speed sensor.
