Odyssey Speedometer not working

Is there a speedometer cable for the Odyssey or is it electronic. If
elec. is there a fuse or something to look for (simple)? thx.

You have to wait until Psychic Wednesday if you're not going to tell us

apologies, this is a 1995 with 203k on her. I have done the ole reset
on the battery, but this did nothing for the speedo issue. thx sir..

 

Any error codes stored, or is the Check Engine light on?

 

Put your question in the correct forum at www.odyclub.com . There are many
users there..

 

- The check engine light comes on after about 30 minutes of
driving. These are the chain of events:
- speedo/odometer do not work
- van starts fine
- after moving forward for 5 seconds the 'D' light on the gear
selector starts to blink.
- the car drives normally
- then after about 30 minutes the check engine light comes on.

 

Get the code. See here:

The "special tool" is just a bent paper clip.
Specifically you want Page 15.

As I understand it, the D light should flash its own code as well.

Report the codes back here.

It's likely the code will have to do with the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS).

 

Tegger, do you know where the speed sensor is located? Also, does the
speed sensor actually make the needle move?

thx.

Does the cruise control accept commands, or hold the speed? That will
tell you a lot about what is working and what is not.

The VSS is on the top of the transmission case. It has an electrical
connector. If it fails, the speedometer will function oddly or not at all,
since it receives its signal from the VSS. And usually the transmission
will exhibit strange shifting behavior.

 

And, your ABS light may come on....
