P0501 1998 Honda Civic Speed Sensor Diagnosis -EricTheCarGuy

1. Oh hey bro my 92 accord is stuck on 3rd and sport light is on.. the green light on the right.. could it be the speed sensor too

2. Ahhh the first thing i see is him looking down and sticking something in my eye 😂

3. Hello My Civic 2007 speedometer does the same. Except it gives a code 22-01 excessive change of the speed sensor signal

4. What if you changed that sensor and it is still acting up

5. This is my second viewing because I’m way past due for this repair. Thanks again for sharing. 👍🏼👍🏼

6. Is fixing the O2 sensors part of the problem with the speed sensor diagnosis?

7. Ahh having a p28 Hondata sucks but being a mechanic and this video really narrows down my b18 issues

8. In my honda civic 1998 automatic transmission reverse gear is not working any idea WHY?

9. Can a bad vss affect the idle of the car?

10. I don't understand the part.. where you tried to guess solve the connection problem and not put the old sensor back to see if the connection was the problem, but instead replaced it anyway, so how do we know if the connection was the problem. By the way I notice that the odometer was not working? Was it not in congruent with the speed sensor at all

11. My civic 96 lxi has that crazy speedo, doing some shift shock noise during drive ang reverse and it kinda stuck in 3rd gear Hope u can do some videos about it…. thanks for advance eric….

12. Yo I need help. My 99 ex 5 speed keep going into limp mode no check engine light.

13. thank you sir. how about srs light indicator thats always on. how to troubleshoot that? thanks. same car model

14. On my 99 civic dx I keep getting the p0720 code. I noticed on the OSS I got continuity on ground. Middlenis readi g 12 volts. Signal.wire nothing
    Where sell don in look

15. What about the car (98 civic ex automatic) losing power while driving, dash lights stay on and speedometer stays on 40 mph? Stalls then after about 5 minutes starts back up with no problem?

16. ❤️❤️❤️

17. Hello! I have a 98 vw beetle, I had gotten a p0501 code on the obd2 scanner I looked it up and it said to replace the vss so I did but yet I still get the check engine light. By the way the speedometer does not read speed

18. Thank you. I did some maintenance on my connector last night while putting in a new speed sensor, and as far as I was able to find through experimentation and observation, the rubber gasket should go in BEFORE the white guide clip. I tried putting it on in the same order as you did in the video (white clip first, then rubber seal), but I couldn’t overcome the resistance trying to plug it in, so I pulled it apart and tried gasket first. Still felt some resistance (the gasket probably could have used a bit of lubrication), but when it clicked it felt “right.” Thanks again for this, and your countless other helpful videos.

19. So I have the same problem but I changed the speedometer and now my speedometer works but my trans still slipping do you think if I just put back the old one and fix that that’s the problem

20. You should do a duo with chrisp figs

21. What if the check engine light is not on ? The light work i checked,but the speedometer jumps or flicks

22. Thanks I have civic Lx 1998 its a project car for now victor of Detroit Michigan

23. HI Eric, I have a 2003 Buick lesabre and it hard shifts so I pulled a coil failed code and replaced it ,it was OK for a few days now I have a slight hard shift comes and goes changed fluid to no avail. would a EGR valve stuck case this ?
    ?

24. Also codes PO135 and PO141. Car will crank but engine doesn't turn over if you restart the car shortly after turning it off. I've noticed that I can put the car in 1st gear crank it up mash the accelerator pop the clutch and the engine starts up. Would any of these 3 codes or problems have anything to do with the car not being able to start up after it is warm. There's never been a problem starting he engine when it's cold. Btw, 369,000 miles.

25. 98 5 speed honda civic code PO500, speed sensor, speedometer bouncing around. Not noticed any issues with the transmission.

26. Odometer doesn't work. Why? He didn't touch on that

27. Eric, I got a CR-V 2000, I recently replaced the whole engine, now sometimes, the car shows the check engine light when I reach almost 60mph… I also noticed that when it is about to turn on the check engine light, the RPM seems to be high for the speed the car is going at. The guy a the repair shop were we changed the engine told me that it could be the speed sensor. The problem is not seen when the car is running at less than 60 mph. If I turn off the car and start it again, the engine light is gone, possibly until the next time I hit a high speed, sometimes it does it, sometimes it does not.
    Do you think I should replace the speed sensor or try something else.
    Thanks!

28. I own a 96 Civic. Love it. It’s more reliable than my more expensive vehicles. Thanks for sharing this valuable information. 👍🏼👍🏼

29. mine its that way
    ive just unplugged the thing

30. I can't get mine back in, the gear at the bottom just bottoms out hitting on something.

31. mine went bad just like in this video what happened is that i changed coolant hose last time and it got coolant on top of the connector mine didnt have the seal careful when changing hoses

32. Thank you Eric the car guy

33. Can this cause the d light to be flashing too?

34. Great video!

35. I have civic 99 civic with auto gear,
    1 and second gear change normal while 3rd gear need 3300 rpm when its change , is it normal or not

36. My 1998 Civic LX isn't experiencing issues with the speed sensor in 2020, but then again, I didn't have my engine replaced TWICE…

37. my car is losing power at high speed but will come back its it gets to a lower speed my speedometor dosent work and the code for the speed sensor is on do you think its the same problem or deeper??

38. Hi Eric, I replaced the speed sensor and no luck. My tach now won't work either, I have a code for ELD any ideas?

39. How much does a speed sensor replacement job cost?

40. Bro whoevers car that is, they paid for it 5 times

41. Can the speed sensor cause the car not to shift in to higher gears

42. Thanks for the nice video. I apparently ravaged some part of my speed sensor mechanism when replacing transmission control cables on a manual 5 speed. I get to survey the damage done tomorrow.
    Replace the PCV valve! Especially on older cars, and newer vehicles that you want to age much more nicely. It is cheap, easy, and will help keep your engine from becoming pressurized with exhaust, which should've exited through the PCV valve, and forcing oil leaks in various places. Another popular YT mechanic (SK) recommends doing it every three years. When in doubt, just change it. It is cheap, easy and protects your engine!

43. Hey Eric I have the same issue but my sometimes works sometimes it doesn’t work my vss I put trans oil and check the level but still sometimes works sometimes don’t what u think 🤔 could b ???

44. “Sort of twist it back and forth a little bit. It’s just an o-ring we’re trying to overcome here.” Invaluable knowledge. Invaluable. Saved me a long night, some busted knuckles, and perhaps worse. Thank you Eric the Car Guy!

45. If the officer sees your speedometer going 70 when he has you stopped, will he give you another ticket?

46. EricTheCarGuy – saving my butt for over a decade! Thank you Eric!
