Sup all,

Trying to see if anyone has had this fault code come up?

This code has come up now 3 times in the last 6 months...I've cleared it the past 2 times but now it looks like I should take a look into this...

Anyone have any idea where this sensor is located?

Any help would be appreciated

 

well thats a transmission code. electric, i don't think its internal.

 

Mainshaft speed sensor is mounted into the trans case, at the left/rear of the transmission.

 

found my helm's, bought the sensor it's about $80 from acura stealership. Fairly easy to change out. Pg. 14-200 for those with the helm's manual...

How many miles does your TSX have?

When this problem came up, is it a flashing or solid light that lights up in the dashboard?

 

issue started for me probably with around 90-100k on the car. I currently have little over 131k on the car. The VSA light comes on, the D in the gear selection area of the gauge cluster flashes and your check engine light comes on...DTC code P0718 is what I got when I retrieved the error code...

 

When the speed sensor goes bad, the miles that your odometer registers will be inaccurate right?

I think having an incaccurate odometer to measure the miles traveled is the only consequence of having a bad speed sensor right?

Does anyone know if there are there any other problems that can arise from a bad speed sensor? I don't think it will damage the transmission.
