My 1997 acura 2.5 tl got a problem and I was told the speed sensor need to be replaced. Now I have got the part, but I don't know the part's location. There's one topic in the forum about speed sensor but I cannot see the picture there. Anyone can give me a picuture or instruction on how to replace it? First, how to find the part location? Then how to replace it. Thanks in advance!

 

It's underneath the intake manifold, below and near the oil filter. It's not easy to access, but possible. I removed and repaired my 2.5TL VSS last year.

good luck

 

Thanks. Is there any picture or instruction online?

 

Not to my knowledge. You can purchase the Acura 2.5TL Shop Manual from Helminc.com or others. If you diy, it's worth every penny. There is a decent sketch in the manual and some replacement instructions. No mention that job has to be done by feel instead of sight.

good luck

 

Thank you! Last night, I have someone helped me and replaced it finally. But now there's another problem. The engine light is still on when the speedmeter is working fine. Last time ( 3 weeks ago) when the engine light turned on for the first time, I went to Honda dealer and got a code. They told me I only need to replace the speed sensor. Now why the light is still on?

 

Either it will go away soon or you will need to reset it.
Unplug the neg battery cable for a minute or so.
Make sure you have the code for the radio.

 

Thanks! Where can I find the code for the radio?

 

Radio code is usally on a card that is turned over w/ owner's manual. Some write the code on glovebox, ash tray, or door jamb.

If you don't have the info, it may be easier to go to Autozone, and get them to reset the computer w/ their OBD2 scanner. This will check that the ECU code is still the VSS and not something else. This will avoid the radio code problem.

good luck
