TedZ Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Hi all, This is a great forum...it is a pleasure to read the posts every day you learn so much. I have read and searched the VSS location threads and i don't seem to see a set of circumstances that matches my 1996 Legacy Brighton wagon. I am getting a P0500 code Vehicle Speed Sensor "A" fault. The car does not have a cable speedometer. Accordingly, i am assuming that the sensor is on the tranny somewhere. However, there are threads that say that even with an electronic speedometer, there may be a speed sensor in the speedometer head. Could someone shed some light on this. Does sensor "A" tell folks which sensor is bad the implication being that there is more than one i.e. a "B"?? Thanks. Ted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 there are two sensors, this is how the AWD works (if it is an automatic). There is no senosr in the spedo head. if no one answers you il chase them down later, but my back meds are kicking in and its nap time nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TedZ Posted January 23, 2006 Author Share Posted January 23, 2006 Sorry, i should have said it is a manual transmission. Thanks for the response. Any additional info would be greatly appreciated. Ted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 im not too sure, somone else can answer this. Unfortunitly my manual is in a place i cant get to (recovering from back surgery). The speed sensor is in the tranny. It should be obvious, as it is easily replacable. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 On the newer cars 95+, it should be located on the transmission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
