Created on:
Tools used
Socket Extensions
10mm Socket
Ratchet
1. Locate speed sensor
The location of the speed sensor varies with different models or engines, so double check your speed sensors location based on the model.
2. Disconnect the speed sensor
Unplug the connector. Use your 10mm ratchet and extension to remove the two bolts attaching it.
Reach down and grab ahold of it and gently twist it back and forth till it pops off.
There should be a post connected to it as well, make sure to remove this too.
3. Replace the speed sensor
Use a light to see where to place your new 1A Auto Speed sensor.
Put the new drive shaft post in first.
Using a light you can see how the post fits into place.
Push the sensor down onto it's seating.
Replace the two bolts and tighten them up firmly but not too tight.

Hi, I'm Mike Green. I'm one of the owners of 1A Auto. I want to help you save time and money repairing and maintaining your vehicle. I'm going to use my 20 plus years experience restoring and repairing cars and trucks like this to show you the correct way to install parts from 1aauto.com. The right parts installed correctly that's going to save you time and money. Thank you and enjoy the video.
We're going to replace the vehicle speed sensor on this 95 Accord. This process is the same for many Hondas and this is a common problem. If your speedometer doesn't work or works intermittently usually it is this vehicle speed sensor. Half the battle is just knowing where to find the sensor, so I'm going to show you that on this 95 Accord. This is a V6 automatic car. On your car, the location of your sensor may differ if you have a different model or engine, but it's pretty easy. The only tool you'll need is a 10mm socket with a ratchet and extension.
So, on this Honda Accord V6 you can see we're on the driver's side the battery here. Your speed sensor is located right down -got to get this lighting here if I can- I actually have it unplugged already. There it is right there. So you're basically looking right down in behind the engine, and you can see right there is one of the 10 mm bolts that needs to be taken out and then there's one a little closer towards the front of the car. So I'm looking at our new sensor. So this is the one hole where you can see the 10 mm bolt, and then obviously the other one is located right over here, and those are the only two bolts you have to remove.
So the connector you just reach in with your thumb and there is a little tab that you push on with your thumb and you probably can't see very well, but you push on it with your thumb and then you pull the connector up and off. I'm just using a 10mm socket with an extension on a ratchet here, and you just kind of feed it right down there. I need a little bit of light. Put a little bit of light and get that wrench right on there and move it forward. Got to get the wrench underneath these plug wires here and on that bolt and get it going. And what I do to remove the bolts all the way is I loosen them with the ratchet first and then I just use this extension and do it by hand because they do come out pretty easy. And then once you have the bolts out you want to reach down with your hand and grab good hold of it and it's going to twist. Twist it back and forth if you can and then it will pop off. Bring it up and out. Also reach down in and where this sensor is there's a little post sticking up and you want to pull that out too.
So you can see our old speed sensor. Here's the new speed sensor from 1A Auto. You can see it's all going to connect the same. The new sensor even comes with a little drive shaft. For this car this sensor is working fine so I'm just going to reinstall the original one. So first I'm going to put my drive shaft down in, and this is basically, I'm going to use some light to see down in there and see where the sensor goes, put this into the middle of the hole and then just twist it and push down at the same time until it goes in. Actually with good light you can see exactly how it wants to go in. Just move my light here. The only problem here is always having good light and being able to see what you're doing. At this angle I can almost get it. It's a matter of just stuffing my arm down in there far enough. I've got it in the hole. Twist it. Push it down in.
Okay, now what I'm going to do is the sensor goes in basically like that so I'm going to hold the sensor like this, and I'm going to feel for where this part goes with these two fingers. I'm going to hold it like this and kind of feel down there for it, and then once I feel the right spot push it down on. I'm going to do it carefully because you want to make sure that that shaft goes in the correct spot. Then I can feel it. Just kind of lightly putting it down on until that shaft finds the right spot. There it is, and now I'll gently push it down on, and now I can put my two bolts back in and we'll tighten them up firm, but not too tight. Reconnect the connector and we'll be all set.

Just put it in today and everything works again. Took some time getting to the old one and installing this one but now my speedometer works and I did it all by myself p.s. people getting this for a Honda Accord Ex VTEC 4L you will need a joint extension for the right bolt its the toughest one ....

The price was very reasonable and the part arrived in a few days after ordering. I was able to install the part and it solved the problem, which was no speedometer and a check engine light. This is the second time I have used 1A Auto and am very pleased with their service.

Once I diagnosed the issue with my Honda Accord to be a faulty VSS I purchased one online from 1A Auto. Super fast shipping and I was able to install the new VSS in about 30 minutes!!! I now have working speedometer, odometer, and a smoothg running engine. Could not have been a more pleasant experience!!

Purchased this from 1aauto because it was cheaper than buying it in store. Heard a lot of great things from this company and decided to try it out. After installing this myself, the check engine light turned off me has not turned on since. I will be purchasing from 1aauto again in the future.

My replacement speed sensor from 1a auto for my 1996 Honda accord was a perfect fit, and high-quality. The videos provided online also made the repair Easy and full proof. I would highly recommend buying your parts from 1 A auto a great way to save money and a great way to feel mechanically accomplished.
Just what we needed.

My grandsons Honda speedometer was not working. We watched the helpful video. Ordered the part and installed the part successfully!
What more can you ask for???
Fixed speedometer and 4th gear issue

January 14, 2021
My speedometer was jumping all over the place and when it would completely quit working I would lose 4th gear. Replacing this solved the issue. Not a terrible install, but the how to video provided shows the V6 variant of the motor. On the 4 cylinder automatic its in a very different location and having a universal joint on your extension will make like a lot easier.

100% SUCCESSFUL. This part was installed by a Honda dealership in my 2001 Honda Prelude. When I brought the car in, and, as I suspected, the Vehicle Speed Sensor was diagnosed as faulty, the dealers parts guy told my service rep that a Honda OEM part, originally quoted at almost $200, was not in stock. The service rep told me they would install a part if I could find one. I immediately ordered your VSS equivalent. Shipment took 2 days; I drove it over the next morning (in my wifes car). I was then told they had found an aftermarket part for $100, but they would install mine, except they couldnt apply their warranty to it, only to their labor. They installed it without a problem and that fixed the car. Thank you, and I will not hesitate to buy from you again!

Works for a '96 Honda Accord V6. Installed it after using their Youtube video. Only thing I would add is to be very careful after undoing the old bolts. The socket wrench on the front bolt was at an angle and the bolt fell out then disappeared into never-never land. Found a new bolt at the local store.

Perfect fit for my 1996 Honda Accord EX V6. Installation video is a must watch before installation. The original VSS was 20+ years old and after unbolting it was a struggle to get it off. Fast shipping. Recommended buy.
