Subject: Speedometer problem with my Honda Accord 1990 EX
Question
Hi James,
I have a 1990 Honda Accord EX, Automatic Transmission. Recently i observed the speedometer is behaving weirdly. I observed the speedometer stopped working when i was in the highway. The speed was shown as zero. After couple of minutes the "S" indicator (Sports) started blinking. Then "Engine Check" light start burning. I came home. Stopped the car and started again, everything was normal. This happend 2 weeks ago. Again the day before yesterday i had the same problem. I drove my car yesterday, it was working properly. The speedometer was working properly.
Looks like intermittently the speedometer is not working correctly. I haven't gone to the honda dealership for service. Approximately how much it would cost to fix this problem?. What would be the problem?
I would really appreciate your response.
Regards
Babu

Hello it sounds like you have a speed sensor going out on the trans. It is not a big deal. I would take it to an independent shop. It will be chepper than the dealer. The computer on the car uses the speed sensor to cause the trans to shift. So i would get it fixed soon. Good luck
