For 1997 Honda Accord 2.2L MFI 4cyl the Vehicle Speed Sensor - Location is located mounted on transmission.

OPERATION
The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is a magnetic pick-up sensor that sends a signal to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and the speedometer. The sensor measures the rotation of the output shaft on the transaxle and sends an AC voltage signal to the PCM that determines the corresponding vehicle speed.



TESTING

  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  2. Disengage the wiring harness connector from the VSS.
  3. Using a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM), measure the resistance (ohmmeter function) between the sensor terminals. If the resistance is 190-250 ohms, the sensor is okay.
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  2. Disconnect the three terminal connector from the vehicle speed sensor (VSS).
  3. Remove the fasteners that secure the VSS to the transaxle housing assembly.
  4. Remove the VSS.
To install:
  1. Install the VSS.
  2. Install the mounting bolts.
  3. Connect the three terminal connector to the sensor.
  4. Connect the negative battery cable.
Hope helps (remember rated this).

1997 Honda Accord SE. I Need wiring diagram for it please. I've searched Google and can't seem to find the correct one.

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved from Honda Motorcycles category.

There are Accord wiring diagrams in the link. 'SE' is only a trim level. If you are doing a lot of maintenance, you need a service manual. If you are doing complex electrical work, you need an auto electrician. You fail to say what your issue is, just that you need a wiring diagram. Vehicle electronics are pretty much beyond the comprehension of 'normal' people.

Also the best way to find wiring info is to break it down if you want free wiring diagrams, Google 'year make model (the part) wiring diagram'.

I have just bought a 1997 Honda Accord SE. I was not given a key fob from factory installed keyless entry. Where can I pick one up which I can just manually program myself that won't be too expensive?

Best bet is ebay I've bought a fob from eBay for my honda in the past. You may have to call a dealership top figure out what fob number you need not all fobs will work for every honda

My 1997 Honda Accord EX speedometer is not working 95% of the time. Is it the sensor that needs replaced?

Yes, most likely the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor). Not too hard to do. It's on top of your transmission, kind of near the back of it.

I have 1997 honda accord 4 cyl vtec..I need to locate the speed sensor and find out how to replace it. is there any diagrams help me?

It's a couple of 10mm bolts on top of the transmission. You might need to remove the air cleaner intake tube, etc to see it. It will have wires and a plug on it. Google a pic of the 97 Accord VSS to get an idea of what it looks like. eBay is the cheapest way to go in replacing it. Parts stores are over priced on this.

Speedo not working is the autotrans on this modle

VSS (vehicle speed sensor) electronic, located on the transaxle. The pic is from a 94 Accord, but it should be close to yours. It's not a great pic, but it should help you find the VSS.

Accord 97 my speedometer works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't i checked the vss and it is ok. Thanks

obviously the vss isnt ok, or else your speedometer would be working....theres a good chance a nice amount of sludge has built up causing the magnet in the vss to not work, after all, thats all it is really...have you checked your vtec solenoid to see if it is leaking oil? or how about the engine itself?...the vss is a simple 123 job, find a cheap one and replace it..better than not knowing how fast your going

Flashing green s on the dash

A green flashing "S" is similar to a check engine light. It is telling you that something in or on your transmission is not functioning correctly, such as the speed sensor or shift control solenoids. If it starts flashing and the speedometer stops working or the transmission shifts weird, take it to a mechanic.
