The last rwo days I have had problem with my speedometer getting whacked. I will be driving and all of a sudden (after about 5-10 minutes) the tcs light comes on and my speedometer starts acting funny, jumping up and down and then finally staying on 0. Also another yellow light comes on, the one above the temperature reading on the dash. However, the car runs perfect even with the TCS light on. It is just annoying and when I turn the car off and turn it on again, the light goes off but then comes on again 5-10 minutes later. Any advice or input would greatly be appreciated on this matter.

Regards,

Hi Danny,

First thing to do is pull the codes from the ECU. Should be quite informative.

My ABS and TCS lights come on after driving a little. "Acura" says it's because my rear tires are bald and fronts are new, and are tricking the sensor. Probably not your problem, but maybe so.

If u not driving fast on wet n don't border to solve the ALB problem, u can unplug the ALB and TCS, so the damn light won't turn on again. I did that on mine, get rid of those annoying light! But u really have to SLOW down when it rain & on those tight corner :D
 
Part number

Does anyone know the part number of the speed sensor, the thing that plugs into the tranny. My mechanic said it has come loose, and I need that part. He says it kind of looks like a plug. I am not sure though, since I have not seen what he was talking about. Thought maybe someone on this forum knows what he was describing.

Regards,
Danny
 
DannyC,

Since I am not 100% sure about the year of your car:

1991-92 = 78420-SL0-505

1993-03 = 79420-SLO-000

Make sure you verify this with your parts guy:).

HTH,
