How do you locate the vehicle speed sensor on a 1990 Honda accord?

My speedometer is not functioning. My Haynes manual shows that it has an electric speed sensor. Searched online and found that it could be two different types. Need to locate and remove so I can order the correct part. THANK YOU!

hi there.

it is located on the passenger side of the vehicle.

pop the hood and stand against passenger fender and look into engine bay.

look to the back against the firewall behind the engine.

you should see the sender on top of the transmission with a plug connected to it horizontal.

you will need a small 10 mm socket with either a small extension or a very long one.

after you remove the bolt, pull the sender straight upwards.

do not lose the tang that goes between the gear and sender!

i hope this helps. Good Luck!

  1. It’s on the transmission. It screws into the transmission on the back side top, with wires running from it to and through the firewall. I believe it is a 10mm bolt that holds it in place, and then gently pry it out. Be careful not to break it off, that would be bad news…
