- Mon Feb 16, 2009 5:11 pm #96837 Alright so my speedometer isn't working. For the past couple months it would jump around but still kind of work, now it doesn't work at all. It also throws a check engine light when under de-acceleration, i haven't checked the code buy I'm almost positive it's gonna be the VSS code.

This is a newer trans, the trans before i also had to replace the VSS but it would stil jump once in awhile, and after i replaced the trans it does the said above, which makes me thinks its my cluster since it still does it even after a trans swap.

Do you guy's think i need to replace my VSS or is it the cluster?

Any help is greatly appreciated, and YES i have searched, and search, and searched..

- Mon Feb 16, 2009 5:25 pm #96840 ok i had i same thing happen to me i checked all my fuses and one was out so i changed it and it all worked again try it and let me know.

- Mon Feb 16, 2009 5:28 pm #96842 Do you remember which fuse? Under-dash or under-hood fuse box?
I'll look it up too.

- Mon Feb 16, 2009 5:32 pm #96844 under the dash and no it was something retared like my tail light cuz that was fixed to wen i changed it

- Mon Feb 16, 2009 6:03 pm #96850 my guess would be VSS

- Mon Feb 16, 2009 6:10 pm #96851 It's your cluster.... I had the same issue, and it was the cluster itself, fairly common from what I hear... but then again i didn't get the CEL, but that could be related to something completely different

Remember when Civics were cool ? Yea me neither

- Tue Feb 17, 2009 11:29 pm #97095 It started working today but then just died again. It still throws a check engine under de-acceleration and that is a guaranteed VSS code but they don't usually stay faulty, they either go bad or not.

I'm thinking it is my cluster, gonna have to pay out the ass for one -[

- Tue Feb 17, 2009 11:45 pm #97100 my cluster also went bad and would bounce around or just not work at all, once i replaced the cluster it worked fine. but i was never throwing a cel

- Wed Feb 18, 2009 2:27 am #97138 Damn, idk what to do then. I don't want to replace my cluster if it's fine, and vise versa with the VSS. I guess i'll have to check the CEL, i know it's gonna read VSS though..

- Wed Feb 18, 2009 2:32 am #97140 is anyone near you where you could barrow there cluster and see if that fixes it?

- Wed Feb 18, 2009 2:49 am #97145 Ah yeah forgot about that, yes i do. Many of them lol.
