96 Legacy vehicle Speed sensor

Featured Replies

My daughter has a 96 Legacy 2.2 manual transmission and the code P500 comes on every couple miles.  It has 115,000 miles on it. I’ve been erasing the code every time it occurs. We replaced the Vehicle speed sensor but it didn’t help. According to the freeze frame data it usually occurs at about 2500-2600 RPM.

Do the ABS wheel sensors have any relationship to the VSS?

That is the part we replaced. It is AWD. I’d have to verify the ABS.

I looked at your website. Our speedometer is functioning normally. So maybe there is a poor connection that breaks contact for an instant?
