Hey, I have a 90 Civic Si. I did the auto to manyal swap. At first everything was out of whack until I put the manual transmission ECU in. That seemed to fix everything then one day my dad was driving it hard then a engine light came on. We got it home then found out it was the oxygen sensor. After switching it out for a new one it didn't help. We traced down the wiring and the wire snapped. I soldered it back togther and its been fine for a long time now. It has no insurance on it now so all I do is drive it around the property so it doesn't get out much. I got bored and wired up the reverse lights and they work fine but I moved one wire under the dash and now I'm getting code 17, vehicle speed sensor. I thought the wire I moved was a blank because of the automatic. I traced it down and it is a blank in the engine bay. Any help please, thanks Brad.
 
yea the only way you should get that code is if the wires are not hooked up or the cable or if the vss is bad

Which wires are you talking about? The reverse light wires? And where is the VSS? I actually don't have the cable or the reverse light wires hooked up. How can the computer detect the cable hooked up? I don't get it.
 
well its on the back of the tranny toward the firewall, does your speedometer work

Oh ok. I know where the cable connects on the transmission, I just didn't know what it was called. And no my spedometer doesn't work because I disconnected at the back of the cluster. I didn't want the prevous motors miles on the the 000,000 odometer that I reset.
 
lol, yeah just fix all that to where the speedometer is working again and the code 17 should go away

Its the simpilest things. Yeah ok. I won't connect it until I build my mini me so I can track the miles. I know its kinda dumb but I was bored. Anyway thanks, I would give you rep but I already gave some and it won't let me do it again.;)
